Digital Smarts - Screen Time Limits

The American Academy of Pediatrics, recognizing shifts in technology that have occurred since the last update of recommendations for screen time for children in 2013, is preparing to release new recommendations. As a precursor to those recommendations, they have released two articles that may be helpful if you are struggling with how to handle screen time limits. Beyond ‘turn it off’: How to advise families on media use  and the proceedings from their symposium Growing Up Digital are two articles that reflect some of the newest research on the topic.
