Researchers found that parents and toddlers who read paper books together, speak and interact more when compared with those who read e-books. Reading with a child is a hugely important developmental activity. It helps youngsters learn new words. It will broaden their knowledge. It also provides time to bond with loved ones. So, scientists wanted to see if parents and children acted differently when they read books together using traditional media versus electronic devices like tablets.

The researchers recruited 37 pairs of parents and healthy toddlers between two and three years old. They asked them to read from three different types of media. These were enhanced electronic books with sound effects or animation, a basic electronic book, and a print book.

Researchers found parents and toddlers spoke more when interacting with a paper book rather than a story on an electronic tablet. Parents used richer language when using print books compared with tablets. They collaborated more with their children. But when reading e-books, parents were less responsive. Children were less engaged with their parents.
