Detailed explanation-1: -Watching television or videos – even programs billed as educational – does not help children under age 2 learn language. Babies and toddlers learn new words and develop language skills by listening and interacting with caring adults – real talk from real people, not TV or videos.
Detailed explanation-2: -TV is linked with slower language acquisition because TV time tends to displace conversation time between babies and adults.
Detailed explanation-3: -Babies aged 17 months and older can learn new words through repeated exposure to educational videos. Surprisingly, it does not help when parents repeat the name of the objects and point at them. For parents and caretakers, it is important to know that repeat exposure seems to help babies learn from educational videos.
Detailed explanation-4: -The findings of the study revealed that toddlers with more than two hours of television viewing time had a 2.7 times more risk of language delay than those with less than one hour. Children who viewed television for more than three hours a day had three times more risk.
