Screen Time and Kids: Finding the Right Balance

Table of Contents

In today’s digital age, managing screen time for kids can be challenging. Here’s how to find a healthy balance:

  • Set Limits: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than 1-2 hours of screen time per day for children aged 2-5 and consistent limits for older kids.
  • Encourage Alternative Activities: Promote activities like reading, playing outside, or creative hobbies.
  • Be a Role Model: Limit your own screen time to set a positive example.
