Counselor's Corner
Let's talk about kids and the use of phones, tablets, computers, video games, and TVs!
The American Academy of Pediatrics recently issued new guidelines for the amount of time kids should spend on technology.
- For children 18 months or younger, no screens is still best. The only exception is video chat with loved ones.
- For children 18 months to two years, parents should limit screen time and avoid allowing them time alone with technology. Educational programming is preferred, and it's best to watch with your child.
- Children two to five years old should have a maximum of one hour of screen time per day, and parents should watch with them to make sure they understand what they are watching.
- Children six years and older need consistent limits on the time and types of media they consume. Parents should take care to make sure screen time is not affecting a child's sleep, exercise, or other behaviors.
Families are encouraged to set screen-free times or zones at home. For example, no phones at the dinner table, no screens in the bedroom, or no phone use while driving. And finally, be sure to talk about online safety guidelines with your child, such as treating others with respect, guarding your personal information, and reporting unsafe behaviors.
