A new study shows that exposure to video screens may be harmful for children under two.
Researchers found that children exposed to screen time before the age of two were two times as likely to have issues with sensory processing.
This impacts how sensitive children are to sounds, smells, textures and other stimuli.
For parents that do allow screen time, experts recommend less than an hour of exposure per day at most.
