Doctors update screen advice, say toddlers can FaceTime

10/23/2016

 
Picture
The American Academy of Pediatrics, amending earlier advice, now says it’s OK for babies to Skype or FaceTime with grandma and grandpa, and for older children and teens to do some of their socializing, learning and playing online – as long as they put down their devices long enough to sleep, exercise, eat, converse and otherwise engage in rich offline lives. Click here to read the full USA Today article.

The AAP have also launched an online tool to help parents create their own family media plan. Read more about that on NPR.org.
