Brain development in the first three year

In response to heightened commercial pressures for screen time for children the Office of the Children’s Commissioner asked Brainwave for research on the effect of television and other digital media on babies and young children. The recent release and marketing of an iphone application for babies perpetuates this pressure on parents to do the right thing for their children. However, the research evidence points strongly to the negative effect of such media on children under the age of two years.
