Is Technology Hurting Children
In 1999 the American Academy of Pediatrics (A.A.P.) issued a warning addressing media use in children. Should children be allowed to use media? No, Parents should not allow children to use media to distract or to give the child something to do. This can cause delays in social skills, Motor skills, Language, Cognitive, and fine motor skills (brown). That sounds like a reason not to let children have tech. The A.P.P. reports that their is no proof that children can learn from media. they also reported children 12 months and under can’t follow screens. This means that children aren't doing anything when people turn on shows for children. The A.A.P. also reports that media can cause health and social issues as well.
