Learning from 2D / 3D ::::::::::
Infants and children under 3 years old struggle to transfer learning between two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) contexts, recent study indicates.
🔶 This phenomenon, known as the Video Deficit Effect, highlights that young children learn significantly less from television and other screen media compared to live, face-to-face interactions.
🔴 "Learning from television is a specific instance of transferring knowledge between a two-dimensional (2D) representation and a three-dimensional (3D) object. Understanding the conditions under which young children might accomplish this transfer is crucial because by 2 years of age, 90% of children are viewing television daily. Research shows that while children can imitate actions presented on television using real-world objects, they learn less effectively from television than from live demonstrations until they are at least 3 years old."
🔶 Video Deficit Effect
- Definition - Infants and young children have a poor ability to transfer learning from television and 2D images to real-life situations compared to face-to-face interactions.
- Impact - This effect suggests that children learn more effectively from direct, live demonstrations.
🔶 Implications for Parents
- Screen Time - Refrain from exposing children under 3 years old to screens, as it may hinder their learning and development.
- Parental Behavior - Avoid watching screens in front of young children, as they often mimic adult behaviors.
🔶 This is another reason for the parents to refrain showing any screen to their children below 3 years. This might also include not watching any screen in front of the child because they learn from copying us
Is it possible to not watch any screen in front of our young children?

Language :::::::
I thought I was operating out of comfort zone...
I was shooting live every day, but I was doing so in the comfort of my strong language, English.
When I took a moment to reflect, I realized that my ideal audience was Indians, including those who might not have a firm grasp of English. This led me to question why I wasn't using my mother tongue or our national language to reach more people effectively.
The first time I shot a reel in my national language, I was nervous.
I worried about what people would think, whether they would appreciate it or not.
But then I remembered, it's not just about whether others like it. It's about me liking myself, loving my work, and staying true to who I am.
Lets strive to love our work and also work the way we love ...
At 3 years old, children can learn from TV in moderation, with guidance and support. Here are some tips:
1. _Choose educational programs_: Select shows that promote learning, like Sesame Street, Blue's Clues, or Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.
2. _Co-view and interact_: Watch with your child, ask questions, and encourage them to point out and identify objects.
3. _Set limits_: Establish screen time limits (e.g., 30 minutes to 1 hour per day) to avoid excessive exposure.
4. _Make connections_: Relate TV content to real-life experiences, helping your child understand practical applications.
5. _Encourage active learning_: Engage your child in activities related to the show, like puzzles, coloring, or role-playing.
6. _Monitor and adjust_: Pay attention to your child's reactions and adjust viewing choices accordingly.
7. _Teach critical thinking_: Ask questions like "What do you think will happen next?" or "Why do you think that character made that choice?"
8. _Use TV as a tool_: Supplement TV time with hands-on activities, reading, and socialization.
Remember, TV should complement, not replace, hands-on learning, socialization, and playtime.
