Digital technology can be a new tool for the development of children under three years old

Recent research has shown that contrary to the popular belief that screens are harmful for children under three years old, the intelligent use of digital technology can have a positive effect on the growth and development of this age group.

According to the scientific news department of Tekna Technology Media, an extensive study conducted in collaboration with several British universities has investigated how children under the age of three interact with smart devices and various applications. The results of this study indicate that children not only interact with these technologies, but also strengthen their language, cognitive and social skills through them.

By watching videos, listening to music and interacting with educational apps, children learn new words and phrases and improve their language skills. Also, interacting with digital technologies helps children develop their problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity skills. Video calls with family members and friends help children improve their social skills and make stronger connections.

Many applications and games designed for children are designed in such a way that while entertaining the child, they also teach him new concepts. Despite the benefits of digital technology, many parents are concerned about children’s overuse of smart devices. Researchers recommend that parents monitor how children use technology and set a specific time for this activity instead of completely banning the use of technology. Also, parents should look for apps and games that are suitable for the child’s age and stage of development.

Digital technology can be a powerful tool for children’s growth and development. However, the use of this technology should be accompanied by parental planning and supervision to avoid its negative effects. To see the latest news, refer to the scientific news page of Tekna Media.
