Using obsessive technology of parents can have serious long -term effects on infants and young children: Study

Call useless parenting.

Tots under the age of five suffer harmful effects if their mothers and fathers have been distracted by Bings and Dings of modern technology, according to a new starting study on the dangers of “technical”.

“The use of parental technology in their child’s presence was significantly associated with the poorer and prosocial behavior, lower bonding, higher levels of internal and external problems, and higher levels of screen time,” the authors of the May 5 report warned. “This phenomenon can adversely affect the health and development of young children.”

Researchers from the University of Wolongong in Australia evaluated data in 21 previous studies on the adverse impacts of the technique.

The intervention of technology in interpersonal relationships, especially within families – when Mom and Dad are so obsessed with movement that they refuse to stop and read their breast a sleep story.

Investigators reviewed the answers from 14,900 participants worldwide with children ranging from 0 to 4.9, seeking the link between parental technology (PTU) in the presence of a child and child motor development, cognitive development, psychosocial health, physical activity, screen time and sleep.

The results found that repeated distractions and interruptions caused by the equipment may leave small but indelible impressions of the little ones.

“This can spark a feeling of ignorance or lead children to feel they have to compete for their parents’ attention,” the clinics said in a statement.

“Such interventions can disrupt the natural course of interactions, which is especially important as young children are acquiring critical social and linguistic skills,” they continued, in part, “and setting patterns of their movement behavior.”

The findings echo a September 2024 report on the technique. It was determined that screen-dependent mothers and fathers destroy their children’s language development skills through hyper-dependence on digital equipment, even the technology used for educational purposes.

“While reading electronic books and playing some educational games can offer language learning opportunities,” said the main author Tulvist from the University of Tartu in a release.

“During the first years of life, the most influential factor is the two -day two -day verbal interaction face to face.”
