Healthy Screen Time Habits for Children

Children benefit from a balanced daily routine that includes sleep, active play, learning and time with family. Set age-appropriate screen boundaries and create screen-free times, particularly around meals and bedtime. Choose content that is appropriate for your child's age and, when possible, watch or use it together. Encourage regular movement and outdoor play. If screen use is interfering with sleep, school, relationships, eating or daily activities, discuss your concerns with your pediatrician.
