screen time digital media

Digital media.

Digital Media use can get off balance and need to be examined and adjusted for our well-being.

Prior to 2019 the APA said children should not have more than 2 hours of screen time, however now the American Pediatric Association offers no limit for children 6 and up. This has led to an explosion of digital media use for children, especially in schools.
