In today’s episode of The Conscious Parent, we unpack a question that many modern Indian parents are quietly asking: Is screen time affecting my child’s brain and speech development?

While screens can be helpful — giving us a moment of peace in our busy days — they may be silently changing how our children grow, speak, and connect. This episode explores how excessive screen time can delay speech, reduce attention spans, and limit the real-life interaction kids need to thrive.

We’ll talk about why no app can replace the magic of a parent’s voice, facial expressions, and storytelling — and how those simple, everyday interactions are far more powerful than any screen.

If you're a mindful parent trying to make informed choices, this episode is your gentle wake-up call. It’s not about guilt — it’s about awareness.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How screen time affects early brain and speech development

• The role of verbal interaction in your child’s growth

• Why connection matters more than content

Whether you’re a new parent or navigating toddlerhood, this episode will help you rethink screen time through the lens of conscious parenting.
