Excessive screen time negatively affects cognitive skills such as reasoning, creativity, and emotional intelligence in children. While children's emotional intelligence thrives with interactive reading experiences, they often experience boredom during unstructured summer days, leading to increased screen time. The lack of moderated activities like reading can seriously harm cognitive development, especially for new readers. Engaging in library programs with social aspects can help encourage reading and limit device dependency. The early stages of brain development are critical, making it essential to foster strong cognitive foundations before they are permanently set.
Excessive screen time can erode cognitive skills in reasoning, creativity, and emotional intelligence. Moderate to excessive screen time can quickly erode recently acquired cognitive skills in reasoning, creativity, and emotional intelligence.
A child's emotional intelligence is nurtured by their time with books, especially when it is interactive. The benefits of reading for young children are nearly endless, including a reduction in claims of 'I'm bored'.
