The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends the following guidelines: - For children under 18 months: Avoid the use of screen media other than video chatting. - For children aged 18 to 24 months: If screen time is introduced, choose high-quality programming and watch it with the child to help them understand what they are seeing. - For children aged 2 to 5 years: Limit screen use to 1 hour per day of high-quality programs. Parents should co-view media to help children understand and apply what they see. - For children aged 6 years and older: Place consistent limits on the time spent using media, ensuring it does not interfere with adequate sleep, physical activity, and other essential healthy behaviors.
