one-year-olds exposed to more than four hours of screen time a day experienced developmental delays in communication and problem-solving skills at ages 2 and 4, according to a study published today in the journal of the american medical association pediatrics.

?

根据今天发表在《美国儿科医学协会杂志》上的一项研究，如果1岁的孩子每天看4个多小时的屏幕，在2岁和4岁时，他们的沟通和解决问题的能力会分别出现发育迟缓。

?

the research also found that 1-year-olds who were exposed to more screen time than their peers showed delays at age 2 in the development of fine motor and personal and social skills. but these delays appeared to dissipate by age 4.

?

研究还发现，1岁时看屏幕的时间比同龄人多的孩子，在2岁时精细运动、个人技能和社交技能的发育会出现延迟。但这些延迟在4岁时好像消失了。

?

the study did not find that the screen time caused the developmental delays but, rather, found an association between babies who were exposed to more screen time and delays in their development. that pattern could well be explained by the value of face-to-face time for young children, experts said.

?

这项研究并没有发现屏幕时间会导致发育迟缓，而是发现了看屏幕时间更长和发育迟缓之间存在联系。专家说，这种关系很好地解释了与幼儿面对面时间的价值。

?

the study’s authors noted that the research did not distinguish between screen time that was intended to be educational and screen time more focused on entertainment. future studies, the researchers added, should explore that angle. dr. lewkowicz said that parents regularly asked him how much screen time was the right amount. his answer: “talk to your child as much as you can, face-to-face as much as you can,” he said

?

该研究的作者指出，该研究没有区分屏幕时间更多的是为了教育还是更侧重于娱乐。研究人员补充说，未来的研究应该从这个角度探索。卢科维奇博士说，家长们经常问他，看屏幕的时间多长才是合适的。他的回答是：“尽可能多地和你的孩子交流，尽可能多地面对面聊天，”他说。

?

to ask parents to withhold all screen time from their babies was impractical, he said: “no parent would listen to that. it just has to be in moderation. with a heavy dose of real-life social interaction.”

?

他说，要求父母彻底杜绝孩子看屏幕是不切实际的，“没有父母会听。只要适度就好。在现实生活中进行大量的社交活动。”
