Preventing Media Overuse

June 21, 2015 By Michael Reed

The American Academy of Pediatrics makes the following recommendations:

  • Discourage electronic media use by children under age 2
  • Limit entertainment screen time to less than 1 to 2 hours/day
  • Keep TV and internet devices out of children’s bedrooms
  • Monitor media use for duration and content
  • Co-view media.  This also gives rise to opportunities for discussion.
  • Establish and enforce a family media plan.
