A recent study from Quebec has found a link between tablet time and tantrums in young children. Researchers followed 315 three-year-old children for about two years and asked their parents to report on their tablet use and emotional states. For every 1.15 hours of daily tablet usage at age 3.5, there was a 22% increase in angry outbursts a year later. This seems to suggest that tablet use could hamper a child’s ability to regulate their emotions.
