Dear Patient,

I'm not sure if its that. Instead of screen time (it has been related to delayed speech, learning and behavioral changes) we recommend buying interactive toys that teach numbers and games.

Kindly look for a child psychologist rather than specialist from our main page. We have the best ones on our page so you need not worry about their capability.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
