  • Electronics are part of our daily lives. There are good reasons for using them (schoolwork, reading, and playing games). But there are health benefits to limiting screen time (decreased obesity, better sleep, less anxiety). The Academy of Pediatrics recommends the following screen time limits:
    

    Age	Recommended screen time
    18 – 24 months	Very limited and only when an adult is near
    2 – 5 years	No more than 1 hour per day
    5 years +	Screen time should not replace activities, sleep, or family time
    12 – 18 years	Some independence with parent supervision
