While screen time can be educational and entertaining, excessive use can lead to sedentary behavior and poor eating habits. The [American Academy of Pediatrics](href) recommends:
Limiting Screen Time: For children aged 2 to 5 years, limit screen use to 1 hour per day of high-quality programming. Encouraging Active Play: Ensure that screen time does not replace physical activity. Creating Tech-Free Zones: Establish areas in the house where screens are not allowed, such as the dining room and bedrooms. Supervising Content: Monitor what children are watching and playing to ensure it is age-appropriate.
