„Passive screen time, particularly television watching, as well as prolonged screen time across various media types, are consistently found to reduce a child’s verbal activity and can lead to delays in language acquisition. However, this effect can be mitigated by various factors, including the family environment. For instance, when the screen time is interactively used with parents and caregivers, it can contribute to children’s vocabulary growth and development of their literacy skills.“
