Screentime Recommendations

Recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics changed their guidelines on screentime limits for children. Given that screens are so engrained into our daily lives, it can be a challenge to limit screens, but it is more important that the content children are exposed to is appropriate, it is not affecting their behaviors negatively, and they have the time to stay active with sports and screen free activities each day.
