Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship- [Announcer] Young children thrive from focused, consistent, loving attention.
Allowing distractions such as a cell phone, computer or television, interferes with the time you spend with your child and limits verbal and non verbal interactions.
Research shows that 80% of a child's brain development occurs in the first three years.
Verbal and non verbal interactions are necessary for that brain development.
Development of speech and language skills in young children is strongly linked to reading, writing, and school success.
Make the time that you have with your child really count.
Plan some technology free, distraction free activities like playing outside, exploring a local park, or reading a book together.
Focus on your child's conversation and observations.
As you do chores at home, shop for groceries or eat together, spend quality time with your child.
It is time well spent.
