"Negative Impact of Screen Time on Sensory Development in Toddlers Under 2 Revealed in New Study"

TL;DR Summary
A study from Drexel University suggests that any amount of screen time exposure for babies and toddlers could be harmful to their sensory development, with children under 2 being urged to avoid screens altogether. The research found that screen time increased the likelihood of developing sensory processing issues, with a correlation also found between autism and screen time. While screen time isn't entirely negative, doctors recommend limiting and monitoring exposure, and further research is needed to understand the connection between screen time and autism.
