One daily habit is quietly shaping preschool language, and it is not just screen time
Young children who spend more time on screen-based activities and less time talking with adults tend to have weaker language skills, according to a recent study from the University of Tartu. The findings highlight that daily interaction—rather than screen limits alone—plays a key role in early language development. The study is published in the journal Frontiers in Developmental Psychology.
