babies can’t learn language from machines. They learn to speak in relationship to fellow humans who love and nurture them. In fact, for infants and toddlers, more time with screens of all kinds is associated with delayed language development.

Babies need people, not devices. They need to be cuddled, talked to, played with and read to by the adults who love them. For evidence of this, you need look no further than the face of any weeks-old baby staring up at you, looking to make eye contact — to connect.
