“…This is important as the amount of time spent exposed to screen time may influence language development. The study by Perdana et al ( 2017 ) concurred with the study by Duch et al ( 2013 ) and Zengin-Akkus et al ( 2018 ) which stated that no relationship exists between a child’s sex, the existence of a television in children’s bedrooms, and delayed language development. Furthermore, child characteristics (existing vocabulary, age, etc.)…”

“…Recently a rise in screen time has occurred. Parents use screen time when concerned about their infant’s development, when parental interaction is reduced (Blankson et al, 2015 ; Byeon & Hong, 2015 ; Perdana, Medise, & Purwaningsih, 2017 ), and to provide opportunities for learning and to improve cognition (Hinkley & McCann, 2018 ).…”

“…According to Perdana et al ( 2017 ), as children grow older, the duration of screen time increases. This implies that a direct relationship exists between the duration of screen time and age.…”

“…The duration of screen time is also dependent on cultural and socio-economic factors, and may be affected and influenced by the habits of family members and parents of the child. Several articles report a link between the duration of screen time and receptive and expressive language delays (Byeon & Hong, 2015 ; Duch et al, 2013 , Perdana et al, 2017 ). This shows that increased exposure to screen time in children is not recommended.…”

“…Research on the impact of media which differs from the child’s first languages indicates that children may be negatively impacted and places the child 14.7 times more at risk of a language delay. This is because of the difference in language and grammatical order of the language which may be confusing for the child and reduces the amount of guidance provided by the parents during co-viewing (Perdana et al, 2017 ).…”

Background: An exponential increase in screen time amongst children and adults, has given rise to a plethora of studies exploring the influences that this exposure may have on children’s development.Objectives: This review is specifically concerned with understanding the influence of screen time on children’s language development.Method: A scoping review was conducted to explore the available literature relating to the impact of screen time on children’s language development. The scoping review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) framework and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) framework. The data were analysed using thematic content analysis.Results: This review identified 12 articles. It made an argument for the multifactorial relationship between screen time and language development, given the associated positive and negative effects. The results revealed core themes such as the influence of screen time being dependent on various factors and the diverse effects of screen time on children’s language development, with the inclusion of parents’ monitoring of and participation in viewing, playing a vital role in language development.Conclusion: The review indicated that an increase in the amount of screen time and an early age of onset of viewing have negative effects on language development, with older age of onset of viewing showing some benefits. Video characteristics, content and co-viewing also influences language development. This study demonstrates that the negative influences of screen time appear to outweigh the positive influences.

Author analyses excessive screen time issues with preschool children, and how counsellors can take a better counselling approach with parents while keeping in perspective Erik Erikson’s Theory of psychosocial development impacting the child by the age of 5 years. Preschool children spend more than 2.5 hours per day on digital screens; this is against recommended guidelines of less than 1 hour per day by * WHO and ** AAP. A literature review of research papers from online *** libraries by the author found that only a small percentage of children met the recommended guidelines resulting in the risk of language disorders, delayed development of physical, motor skills and cognitive abilities, obesity, sleep problems, depression and anxiety due to screen exposure. The loneliness of children is found to be the primary reason for the excessive screen time. The author suggests that counsellors help parents look beyond limiting a child’s screen time alone and improve the parental attitude toward the child’s behaviour which is the biggest barrier in managing a child’s screen time. The author’s contribution is the ‘SALT’ counselling approach emphasising listening Support, finding Alternatives, Loneliness and Time in this digital era to cater to all types of child learners - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Why is your paper of interest to readers? Exposure of preschool children to digital devices is more than double the recommended screen time, hampering a child’s critical personality development required as per Erik Erikson’s Theory. Counsellors need to look at other associated factors beyond screen time which affect children adversely and which are more important than just the screen time limitation prescribed as per government guidelines. Focus :SE Asia and Outside SE Asia (No IRB approval is sought as the paper is based on secondary research.)
