How much screen time is too much for kids?

This is a difficult question to answer, as it will depend on the age of the child and their individual needs. Generally speaking, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting screen time for children younger than 18 months to just video chatting with family and friends. For children between 2 and 5 years old, screen time should be limited to one hour per day of high-quality programming. For children over 6 years old, the AAP recommends that parents place consistent limits on screen time, balancing media use with other healthy behaviors such as physical activity and adequate sleep.
