I’m just finding that fact sad that people but their 1-year olds in front of a screen for 4+ hours a day, that’s all.

    Ah ok, I thought you were insinuating kids were being excessively exposed to screens for the sake of research, which wasn't happening here. But yeah, I agree feeding your toddler 4+ hours of digital media a day is very depressing.

    Oh, I see… I should’ve worded it a bit better.

    I don’t know too much about these kind of studies, but it is based on a questionnaire filled out by the parents. I imagine it is quite hard to account for so many variables, since everybody interprets things a bit differently…
