Yikes, looks like the research is in and its not looking good. Makes me grateful that I couldn’t afford tech for my kids when they were real young but I tried. Those that could buy iPads for their youngsters (mine were already grown) may be regretting it given new research:

Screen time hurts kids brains…the impact of screen time was negative, significant, and came with specific consequences, including deficits in attention, impulse control, executive functioning, and overall cognitive functioning.

Some studies included in the meta-analysis indicated that screen time can lead to lower levels of brain connectivity and even hinder brain growth.
