How much screen time is TOO MUCH screen time for your child?
Kids are on screens more than ever — school, games, social media… it adds up fast.
While tech has its perks, too much screen time can take a toll on young eyes. 👀📱
CAO has outlined the following recommendations for safe recreational use of electronic screens for children
0-2 years: No screen time is recommended
2-5 years: no more than one hour with regular breaks
Children over 5: ideally, no more than two hours per day of recreational screen time with regular breaks
Remember: individual screen time plans should be based on development and needs. To learn more about your child’s vision, visit your optometrist.
