Using Digital Media With Your Child
Children develop in a healthy way through positive, nurturing relationships between adults and children. Quality digital media that is a mix of education and entertainment should support these interactions. It is always better for adults and children to share media together. The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages screen time for children under the age of 2.
