In addition, mobile devices could offer opportunities for interaction. For example, when toddlers can talk to a family member remotely via conference call.
Screens could also encourage language learning and literacy development, provided the content is of high quality and age-appropriate. And provided the Canadian Pediatric Society determines that an adult is present to supervise the activity.
However, it should be noted that other studies cited by these various reports have instead observed speech delays in babies who were more exposed to screens. Experts insist that direct interactions with a real person are more effective than any application.
Also according to the Canadian Pediatric Society, touchscreens may stimulate the development of fine motor skills, but prolonged screen use in young children would generally be associated with poorer motor skills.
Conflicting results have also been obtained on the impact of screens on cognitive development, adds the French High Council of Public Health.
