To learn how to speak, manipulate objects and interact with others, explain the children’s Medical Center Cohen experts in New York, MOM and dad, and traditional toys there nothing better of the words./PPThe analysis is based on 63 couples whose children have had “first contact” with a touchscreen on the average to 11 months and 17.5 minutes per day, but with peaks of 4 hours. Major activities for children were ‘see educational program’ (30%), using the educational application (26), press the screen randomly (28) and then-non-educational games (14). Although 60% of parents said that he was convinced that the use of devices producing a ‘benefit of education’ in small cognitive tests showed that there was no difference between ‘technological’ children and those who do not. In fact, in small playing with non-educational app you noticed a delay in the development of the language./PP”We have seen in our clinic that toy number one that parents give to the children are smartphones, says Ruth Milanaik, lead author of the study, which has been now replaced by ‘traditional’ toys and books.
