Conclusions: Positive associations were noticed between the first exposure age and high frequency of screen spent time and speech delays in children, especially toddlers. This work recommends an instantaneous parent's and researchers' consciousness, besides that from health consultants, on ...
time per day.7 Research groups have reported on guideline compliance among young children in Canada and around the world. Within the PREPS Project (Parents' Role in Establishing healthy Physical activity and Sedentary behavior habits) only 12 % of the 151 Canadian toddlers (aged 19.0 ±...
WHO recommendations state that children under the age of 5 should not spend more than one hour daily on screen-based activities, while children younger than 1 should not be exposed to this type of activity at all (WHO, 2019). AAP calls for no screen time for children until 18–24 months...
On average, black and Hispanic children viewed more television content each day than white children—approximately 6, 5.5, and 3.5 h, respectively [1•]. During the past decade, there has been a proliferation of screen media content specifically developed for and marketed to infants, toddlers,...
A growing body of anecdotal evidence indicates that the use of robots may provide unique opportunities for assisting children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, previous studies investigating the effects of interventions using robots on joint attention (JA) in children with ASD have shown...
Functional MRI Data Acquisition and Analyses Imaging was performed on a GE-3 T Sigma Horizon echo- speed scanner with resonant gradient echoplanar imaging system. Functional T2*-weighted images were obtained using field of view = 220 mm, matrix size = 96 × 96, repetition time = 3,000 ms,...
Moreover, parents' overall disengagement (regardless of engagement quality) did not mediate the effect of BTV on toddlers' play. That is, the quality of parent engagement mattered more than the overall quantity of engagement for the youngest children. These findings provide further evidence for the...
Preterm and term small for gestational age (SGA) babies are at high risk of experiencing malnutrition and impaired neurodevelopment. Standalone interventions have modest and sometimes inconsistent effects on growth and neurodevelopment in these babies. For greater impact, intervention may be needed in mu...
Finally, a study of toddlers (1–2 years old) in Chile found reduced physical activity and increased recreational screen time and sleep (Aguilar-Farias et al., 2021). This is despite several pediatric agencies calling for the critical need to deliver safe outdoor activities and indoor play to...
The research questions addressed are: what features of apps provide information about their developmental appropriateness for children, and what is the effect of the developmental appropriateness of educational apps on young children’s responses (enjoyment and playtime)? 2.
