Screens can be hard to avoid, especially on the toughest parenting days when you just need to catch your breath or finish just one task on your never-ending to-do list. When you need to lean on screens to keep your child occupied, choosing high-quality kids’ programs can help make this time educational, too. In this video, you’ll learn what types of screen time can support your child’s development and other therapist-approved recommendations to make the most of this time. Note: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no screens before 18 months and one hour of high-quality content daily for ages 2-5. 📹 Limiting Kids’ Screen Time | A Parenting Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJrKQWRM6Ys 🏠 Visit Pathways.org for more FREE resources: https://www.pathways.org 👶 Download our FREE, award-winning mobile app, featuring important milestones to keep baby on track: https://pathways.org/mobile-app 🔗 Screen Free Activities for When Kids Are Bored: https://pathways.org/no-time-tv-activities-kids-say-im-bored 📧 Stay in the know!
