Abstract In order to understand the impact of electronic media on the development of infants and toddlers aged 0-6 years, this paper systematically reviewed 28 domestic empirical studies. Previous studies have confirmed that excessive use of electronic media has adverse effects on the development of infants and toddlers, including sleeping, eating habits, eye health, language, cognition, social emotion, and developmental quotient. However, other studies show that media can promote the development of executive function, language, and social emotion of infants and toddlers. The impact of electronic media on the development of infants and toddlers still needs to be further explored. It is suggested that future research should refine and expand the research content, pay attention to the research on the use of electronic media, strengthen the causal relationship demonstration by optimizing the research design, and carry out qualitative research to supplement quantitative research.
