🛑 STOP. 🟡 WAIT. 🟢 GO.
Not all “kids’ content” is actually kid-friendly.
Some shows boost language and problem-solving skills.
Some are fine once in a while.
Some? đźš© Fast-paced, ad-heavy, or just not designed for little brains.
The Stop–Wait–Go guide from the American Academy of Pediatrics helps parents decide what’s worth pressing play.
🔴 STOP → Inappropriate, violent, clickbait, or AI-generated content
🟡 WAIT → Use occasionally, in moderation
🟢 GO → High-quality, age-appropriate, educational
Screens aren’t going away — but smart choices make all the difference. 💙
