Scientists arrived at their conclusion after watching parents read with their children in a laboratory.
Parents and toddlers who read paper books together speak and interact more compared with those who use e-books, researchers believe.
First, the pairs were filmed as they free payed with toys for five minutes in a laboratory which was set up to resemble a living room, before reading. The authors documented what the parents and children spoke about as they consumed the books. Dr. Tiffany Munzer, corresponding author of the study and Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics at University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, told Newsweek:"One of the most surprising aspects is that these findings held true even when parents and children read tablet books with few distracting enhancements, suggesting it might be the actual tablet device that’s contributing to less conversation and lower levels of collaboration between parents and toddlers.
So should parents ditch tablets when reading with their children, or is some reading better than none regardless of the device? Munzer said that parents always know their children the best "so they should feel empowered to adjust the reading experience to what they know their children are interested in: even comics and magazines count as reading."
