“…However, speech delay was the least common problem they were concerned about, while vision problems were their most common concern [ 28 ]. Other problems reported by parents were related to attention, consistent with another study that found a significant association between screen time and low concentration among children (p = 0.01) [ 29 ].…”

“…The findings from the included studies indicated that media devices affect the development of speech in children [11,15,21,22,27,[29][30][31][32]. There was a high likelihood of language development problems in children possessing electronic devices (Odd ratio [OR] = 3.94, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.97-7.84, p < 0.001) [23].…”

“…One study found that screen exposure at an early stage of life, before two years of age, was significantly associated with speech delay (p = 0.02) [29]. On the other hand, introducing electronic devices at a later stage of development was found to positively affect a child's language development [15], with introducing them at 25-36 months of age being positively associated with language skills (p = 0.017) [23].…”

“…Studies established a correlation between the intensity of gadget usage and the speaking proficiency of young children, with a higher risk of language delay in children with more gadget use intensity [ 15 , 19 , 20 , 23 , 25 , 26 , 29 ]. Screen time exceeding two hours and watching TV for 3 to 4 hours daily were associated with a decrease in receptive and expressive language scores and speech delays [ 19 , 23 , 26 ].…”

“…On the other hand, introducing electronic devices at a later stage of development was found to positively affect a child’s language development [ 15 ], with introducing them at 25-36 months of age being positively associated with language skills (p = 0.017) [ 23 ]. Though smart media devices were associated with speech delay and other language problems among children, only one study reported that abstaining from these devices for six months was associated with speech improvement in 36.7% of children with speech delay [ 29 ].…”

The increasing prevalence of smart media usage among children has raised concerns about its potential impact on various aspects of child development. One such area of worry is speech delay, as early language acquisition is critical for cognitive, social, and educational development. The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate and synthesize available research data in order to determine the association between speech delay and the usage of smart media in children.To perform this systematic review, a thorough literature search was conducted using relevant keywords in electronic databases, such as PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Embase. We included studies published during the last 10 years investigating the impact of smart media on children's speech delay using various research designs.The findings showed that extended exposure to electronic media for children was negatively associated with expressive vocabulary and language skills in children, in addition to decreased language scores and speech delays. Educational apps and shared media engagement with parents correlated with stronger language skills. The introduction of smart devices at a later stage of development (24 months of age and older) was associated with positive language development, whereas early introduction was associated with speech delay. However, six-month abstinence from devices led to speech improvement in the affected children.These findings highlight the need to balance interactive screen time and other forms of interaction to enhance speech development.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological deficit in brain functions that prevents a child from having a normal social life like his peers. It results in the inability to interact and communicate with others. Unsurprisingly, the alarming increase in screen-time exposure in children has become even more of a concern. Electronic devices are a double-edged sword. Despite their benefits, they have many potential hazards to children’s neurological development. Previous studies have investigated the effects of unsupervised screen time and its impact on white matter development during the early years of life of children. The white matter has an important role in the development of neurological functions. This systematic review aims to qualitatively analyze the literature available on early screen time exposure and its association with the risk of developing ASD. This systematic review implemented the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for data in the recent six years. A total of 27,200 articles were identified using the MeSH and keywords through four selected databases. Search results revealed 70 from PubMed, 17,700 from Google Scholar, zero from Cochrane Library, and 9,430 from PubMed Central. After applying filters and screening the results by title and abstract and then by full text, 11 studies fulfilled the criteria to be included in the review. We found that the longer the period of screen exposure, the higher the risk that the child may develop ASD. Further, the earlier the child is exposed to screens, the higher the risk of developing ASD in children compared to children exposed later.
