"Many new parents often underestimate the impact of handing over shiny screens to their babies, thinking it’s just harmless fun. Gradually, however, this habit becomes a part of the baby’s routine and, before long, turns into a dependency. The key to avoiding this is prevention ✋

Numerous studies have highlighted the physical, cognitive, and emotional consequences of prolonged screen exposure in infants.

‼️However, the most alarming finding is that screen exposure during infancy can significantly disrupt the natural development of the baby’s brain, altering how neural pathways are formed during this critical period of growth. Prolonged screen exposure during infancy might lead to abnormal wiring of neural circuits that are forming at this critical age.

🧠Studies have shown that excess screen time may lead to reduced gray matter density in brain regions associated with language, executive function, and impulse control.

👉If you’re a parent determined to avoid the slippery slope of screen dependency where turning back feels nearly impossible but find yourself overwhelmed by the challenges of parenting without screens, you’re not alone.

👉 FOLLOW along for practical insights and guidanceto help you raise a screen-free infant while fostering healthy habits and meaningful connections."
