Why does screen time negatively affect communication skills in children?

Wouldn’t watching more content with spoken words make you better at speaking? Same with captions and reading/writing.

The screen is no substitute for eye contact, body language and facial expressions. 

There is something called ‘co-regulation’ and something called ‘resonance’ which is what happens between our hearts when we we are in contact with one another. 
These things make us feel connected and close which humans need to survive. And when our hearts and nervous systems are switched on through resonance, we learn better.
