When it comes to reading to toddlers, there is no substitute for an old-fashioned book, according to new research.
That's according to new research that found paper books foster better parent-child interactions than electronic books do.
Toddlers presented with an e-book became more focused on the tasks of tapping or swiping the screen, instead of focusing on the story being told or the parent reading to them. For this study, the researchers observed 37 parent-toddler pairs reading together in a laboratory using three different book formats -- print, basic e-readers and enhanced e-books on tablets.
The enhanced e-books carried all the bells and whistles -- tapping a picture of a dog might cause the dog to bark or move about, or turning the page to a beach would produce the sound of an ocean wave crashing.
