In regression analyses, higher screen time was negatively (B = −0.081; 95% CI, −0.115 to −0.048; P < 0.001) and child-adult face-to-face talk positively (B = 0.031; 95% CI, 0.015 to 0.047; P < 0.001) associated with ECDI-III scores. The full model, including age and sex, explained 26.1% of the variance in language scores. LCA identified three family profiles: Screen-Saturated, Somewhat Talkative Families (43.2%), Low-Screen, Quiet Families (40.2%), and Parent-Screen, Talk-Rich Families (16.6%). Children in Parent-Screen, Talk-Rich Families showed higher language scores and greater child-adult conversational engagement than children in the other profiles (Welch's F(2, 221) = 6.23; P = 0.002).ConclusionsHigher screen time and lower child-adult conversational engagement were associated with poorer language outcomes in early childhood. Family typologies suggested that low screen time alone was not associated with stronger language skills unless accompanied by rich conversational environments. These findings highlight the importance of considering both digital media use and everyday conversational experiences when examining early language development.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fdpys.2026.1836877 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fdpys.2026.1836877 <![CDATA[Retraction: Anxiety and emotion regulation in middle school students: the mediating role of subjective well-being and the buffering effect of physical activity]]> 2026-04-02T00:00:00Z Retraction https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fdpys.2026.1644795 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fdpys.2026.1644795 <![CDATA[Investigating a race-based strength bias across development: evidence from children, adolescents, and adults]]> 2026-04-01T00:00:00Z Original Research Julia WefferlingPaul Muentener https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fdpys.2026.1796686 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fdpys.2026.1796686 <![CDATA[Emotion socialization, relational wisdom, and intergenerational legacies: a reflexive thematic narrative analysis of grandmothering]]> 2026-03-31T00:00:00Z Original Research Pamela W.
