Screen Time & Language Development (Under 5-6 Years)
• 0-2 years: No screen time (except video calls)
• 2-3 years: Up to 30 minutes/day (with adult guidance)
• 3-5 years: Maximum 1 hour/day, always supervised
🗣️What actually boosts language development?
• Reading stories & picture books
• Daily conversations about routine activities
• Singing rhymes and action songs
• Pretend play and role play
• Asking open-ended questions like “why” and “what next”
🌱Important to remember:
Language doesn’t grow by watching screens - it grows by talking, listening, and interacting.
Less screen time today builds stronger communication skills tomorrow.
