On Friday morning, the American Academy of Pediatrics shifted its stance on what is commonly known as “screen time,” abandoning its controversial recommendation to keep children under age 2 away from screen media.
Instead, it now provides mostly evidence-based guidance on how to use technology responsibly with kids of all ages.
The academy advices parents of children 18 to 24 months old “who want to introduce digital media” that they should choose high-quality programming and apps to watch and play with alongside their young children.
The academy recommends that for children 2 to 5 years of age, screen time should be limited to one hour per day.
