A recent study suggests yes!
Kids with higher screen exposure often learn more words for things they see on screen (like "TV" or "couch") but fewer for body parts (like "knee" or "elbow").
Why? Because digital worlds are great at naming things, but they can't replace the physical experience of moving and touching.
This isn't about guilt, it's about empowerment!
At Connected Through Play, we show parents and grandparents of 3-11 year olds how to easily bridge this "vocabulary gap" with fun, 2-minute activities. We use activities like:
✅ "Simon Says" to build body literacy.
✅ "Animal Yoga" to get the wiggles out and brains engaged.
✅ Context over Counting to make tech a tool, not a transition struggle.
Discover how to raise future-ready kids who are digitally savvy AND physically connected.
