According to the findings obtained from the research, the child's exposure to television and videos on the internet during this period may cause problems in the development areas, since the 0-3 age group is a process that is the basis of adult life. As a result of watching them for a long time, the intensive and inappropriate use of language taken from television or internet videos can have negative effects on the child's language development. In this context, it was determined that the majority of working and non-working mothers took precautions.
