A recent Kelley Blue Book survey reveals that 73% of parents consider their car an extension of their home, reflecting the significant role of cars in family life. Despite the comfort of the vehicle, children are often restrained in monotonous spaces, which can hinder healthy cognitive development. Research indicates emotional connections between parents and infants are critical for development, but reliance on digital screens for stimulation poses risks. The American Academy of Pediatrics warns about the negative impact of excessive screen time on children’s development, recommending limits for digital exposure in early childhood.
A staggering 73 percent of parents think of their cars as an extension of the family home, according to a 2023 Kelley Blue Book survey.
Pediatricians, developmental psychologists, and parents with common sense will tell you that varied visual stimuli are essential to healthy cognitive growth. Prolonged exposure to a static, unstimulating environment is not good brain food.
The American Academy of Pediatrics found that extensive early exposure to digital screens significantly correlates with delays in language, cognitive, and social-emotional development.
Excessive screen time harms children's communication and social skills, with AAP recommending no screen time for kids under 18 months.
