It is it true that the tablets and phones rot your child's mind? Human interaction is important during the critical period ages 0 to 5. If you try to talk to the child they hold the phone and just drool. When the phone is gone they start speaking more and socializing.
The devices give an illusion of learning but this is not how children learn. They need social interaction and feedback.
I have noticed that devices hinder large motor skills, fine motor skills and speech development. One also has to realize that reciting the alphabet and singing songs does not build speech. There are also behavioral problems. One mother in my Thai family, puts the phone next to the child so it falls asleep. As soon as it woke up the child refused to talk to anyone and started crying so she stuck the phone there again 3 inches in front of its face. Perhaps even more frightening is many children refuse to eat when the phone is in front of them. I have watched parents try to feed their child and they child just stares at the screen and doesn't eat.
I would often teach the child using worksheets and objects. The parents would come in and turn on a huge 50 inch television with cocomelon playing on a loop. The child was unable to do the lesson or even move its hands anymore. Even the most basic tasks such as coloring didn't happen.
Research done by Patricia Kuhl involved teaching mandarin to an American child using a TV Screen and it showed no result; however, doing the same material with a human teacher brought the child up to the same level as a Taiwanese child.
Do you let your children use phones, tablets and devices all day?
