That sentence directed towards the article and it choosing to focus on one part of the study. Sure I have not read the study so the link between “struggling” parents and development can be much weaker than screen time and development. It can be that the article presents the study without favoring any results. Or it could be highlighting those results that drives more clicks. I feel the second option is the more likely one.
Which are you more likely to digest and relate to as a bad parent: “giving your kids devices to shut them up is bad”, or “screentime is bad”?
Most parents refuse to acknowledge that they do not know what is best for their child. “Screentime is bad” doesn’t come with the caveat of “pay more attention to your child”.
