Summary | When Gabin first went to kindergarden, he was in his own bubble. He used to repeat what he was told, and would not listen to the teacher. At home Gabin was constantly on his tablet, and TV was always on. After the mother was told not to give her son his tablet, they noticed progress. Doctor Ducanda has been working a lot with children like Gabin. Most of the time, those children have been exposed to screens for too long.

Summary | Many toddlers have autistic-like symptoms, and it might be due to too much screen time. Smartphones and other devices are everywhere, and parents sometimes give them to their kids to calm them down. Many health professionals have been warning people about the dangers of too much screen time for toddlers under 3. Those dangers can be: a lack of language, relational problems, and communication problems. Some people don't like the reference to autism that has been made because no research can prove a link between screens and autism.
