    It’s real. My 3 yr old can’t speak his mother tongue properly but can use phone like an adult

      That’s a parenting red flag. That happens because the parents keep putting a phone in the kid’s hand and expect the phone to occupy all their time. Spend time reading and speaking to the kid in his mother tongue rather than giving them a phone and they’ll become proficient pretty quickly.

      Well that’s because the phone is far more engaging and enjoyable than day to day life. By providing a 3 year old with a device it’s effectively cementing the dependency on having some electronic devices available at all times
