Here’s a tip: Limit screen time for children. The American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines discourage any screen time for children less than 2 years of age. For older children, the AAP recommends no more than 2 hours daily. Keep media devices out of children’s bedrooms, keep family routines such as mealtime screenfree, and set TV-free days for the whole family.
