American Academy of Pediatrics Adjusts Screen Time Rules
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently released new recommendations for how long children should be exposed to tablets and smartphones. The new recommendations suggest infants and toddlers should be kept away from screen time until they hit 18 months. Meanwhile, toddlers can spend an hour a day watching high-quality programming, provided they are alongside their parents.
Amy De La Hunt, director of product development for Parents as Teachers, was recently interviewed about this subject in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Additionally, Donna Hunt-O'Brien, Vice President of Professional and Program Development, also discussed this topic during an interview on FOX2 in St. Louis.
Parents as Teachers updates its curriculum regularly and will make sure the curriculum lines up with the new AAP guidelines.
