A recent Firstpost lifestyle feature highlighted why intentional screen time should be avoided for children below the age of two during the first 1001 days of life. Dr. Santhosh Kumar from Motherhood Hospitals explained that early screen exposure can affect brain development, sleep, language learning, attention, emotional bonding, and social interaction, while stressing the importance of caregiver engagement, play, reading, outdoor activity, and responsive parenting during early childhood.
