Smartphones can make toddlers tantrums worse rather than calm them

Giving toddlers a smartphone or a tablet to calm them down could make their tantrums even worse, a new study warns.  In experiments, US researchers observed toddlers between the ages of two and three after a cartoon they were watching ended prematurely.  Parents were also asked questions about how heavily they relied on electronic media, including TVs, tablets, phones and video games, to calm their child down. Toddlers who were more used to being given electronic media to prevent a tantrum had more extreme emotions when it was removed, the experts found. Although letting a toddler play on a phone or tablet seems like a harmless way to distract them when they are being difficult, in the long-run, this can make reactions worse and worse when they re taken away.
