desarrollo del lenguaje, exposición a pantallas, lectura compartida de libros, calidad del sueño, videollamadasResumen
El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer el impacto de los medios digitales (exposición a pantallas y videollamadas) en el desarrollo lingüístico temprano de los niños explorando sus interrelaciones con la lectura compartida de libros y los problemas para dormir. Para
estudiar la complejidad de estas relaciones se analizaron datos transversales recopilados de 362 familias con niños de entre 30 y 41 meses de edad, usando ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados revelaron que la exposición a pantallas se relacionaba significativamente de forma negativa con la lectura de libros y marginalmente de forma positiva con los problemas para dormir. Sin embargo, ni la exposición a pantallas ni las videollamadas se asociaron con el desarrollo lingüístico de los niños, siendo la lectura de libros el predictor principal. La educación materna también fue un factor clave en estas interrelaciones, ya que los niños de familias en las que la madre tenía un título superior pasaban menos tiempo frente a las pantallas y estaban más expuestos a la lectura compartida de libros. Los hallazgos de este estudio proporcionan información adicional sobre la relación entre el uso de medios digitales y el desarrollo del lenguaje en los primeros años, y resaltan la importancia de concienciar a las familias sobre la relevancia de prácticas fuera de las pantallas, como la lectura de libros.
