In today’s episode, we are joined by Tracie, a speech-language pathologist.

  • What a study found with regard to screen time and a child's cognitive abilities (link below)
  • What is Tracie’s take on Cocomelon and how the characters speak?
  • Why is screen time not recommended before the age of 18 months?
  • What can parents do if their child is already getting screen time under 2?
  • How does language actually develop?
