Abstract
Environmental factors support children's development, such as early education and high-quality interactions with their parents [1]. But we still don't know what impact the rapidly evolving technology and digital media (TDM) and emerging educational technology (EdTech) that surround children every day are having on them. For example, how does this technology affect children's core developmental foundations, such as language, executive functions, and socio-emotional abilities? This paper focuses on the impact that this exposure has on young children in Europe and highlights sensitive periods and relevant unex- plored factors.
