Summary | As soon as a baby is born, he/she needs to be stimulated. Adults should talk to babies, play with them, look at them, and reassure them. However, more and more digital devices are starting to replace human presence. Adults don't hesitate to give their toddlers a tablet or a smartphone. This new trend can have a serious impact on children's cognitive development and language development.
