"Limit Screen Time for a Healthier Childhood!" 📱
As a pediatrician, I recommend:
Risks of Excessive Screen Time:
- Delayed development
- Sleep disturbances
- Obesity and sedentary behavior
- Social skills impairment
Set Healthy Limits:
- Under 2 years: No screen time (except video chatting)
- 2-5 years: 1 hour/day of high-quality educational programming
- 6 and older: Consistent limits that don't interfere with physical activity, sleep, and other activities
Tips for Parents:
- Set screen-free zones
- Encourage physical activity
- Monitor screen time
Let's promote healthy screen habits for kids!
