Healthy Screen Habits for Kids 📱

Managing screen time is one of the biggest challenges for modern parents. The goal isn't just "less time," but "better time."

The "3 C's" Guideline:

  • Child: How does your specific child react to screens? Do they get moody or anxious?
  • Content: Is it educational (PBS Kids, Sesame Street) or mindless scrolling?
  • Context: Is it solo time in a bedroom (bad) or family movie night (good)?

Frequently Asked Questions

How much screen time should a 5-year-old have?

For children aged 2 to 5 years, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends limiting screen use to 1 hour per day of high-quality programming.

Does educational screen time count?

Yes, but quality matters. Interactive educational apps or co-viewing with a parent is better than passive video watching.
