Your child's academic success may start with their screen time as infants, study says | CNN

Letting infants watch tablets and TV may be impairing their academic achievement and emotional well-being later on, according to a new study. Researchers found that increased use of screen time during infancy was associated with poorer executive functioning once the child was 9 years old, according to the study published Monday inthe journal JAMA Pediatrics.
