Why I don't limit screen-time for my kids - The Washington Post - 0 views

  • My husband and I never made a conscious decision to not limit screen time for our kids; we simply didn’t worry about it.
  • Our screens don’t isolate us from one another – they are another medium through which we interact.
  • technology is not mysterious. It doesn’t freak them out. It doesn’t control or oppress them. It’s a tool. They do homework on their iPads. They read books on e-readers for school and pleasure. They play games, watch videos, and chat with friends. It’s not a big deal. Screen time, for us, is still time spent together

How Much 'Screen Time' Is Too Much? Why That's The Wrong Question | Diana Graber - 0 views

  • The AAP's long-standing recommendation has been that kids' entertainment screen time be limited to less than one or two hours per day, and for kids under 2, none at all. But in a world where screens surround us -- in restaurants, gas stations, grocery store lines, as background ambiance at home (heck, even in pediatricians' waiting rooms) -- this recommendation is becoming nearly impossible to follow.
  • there is no easy answer to the question of "how much." So maybe parents need to start asking two new questions: "what" and "when."
  • "Quality content matters" says Dr. Chip Donohue, Director of the TEC Center at Erikson Institute, "What they watch is more important than how much"

Parents, Calm Down About Infant Screen Time | TIME - 1 views

  • Too much of the wrong kind of media can hurt infants, but that doesn't mean you need to practice total abstinence
  • total abstinence, that is to say families following the AAP’s recommendations, was actually associated with lower cognitive development, not higher
  • sensationalizing flawed studies that find negative relations.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • it really is not so simple as to say that screens are or aren’t good for infants. Nor is abstinence the answer. It’s more about using screens in a quality way, as when caregivers engage with infants while they watch and explain what they are seeing
  • ignoring data that doesn’t fit their scarier message
  • moderation is key
  • Don’t think of media as an either/or but something you can use with children and talk to them about

Screen-time does not disrupt children's sleep, new study finds | University of Oxford - 0 views

  • new research findings from the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford, has shown that screen time has very little practical effect on children’s sleep.
  • while the correlation between screen time and sleep in children exists, it might be too small to make a significant difference to a child’s sleep
  • Focusing on bedtime routines and regular patterns of sleep, such as consistent wake-up times, are much more effective strategies for helping young people sleep than thinking screens themselves play a significant role
