Screen time has an impact on your child’s development in the early years, and beyond. Help your child develop healthy screen time habits by monitoring screen time and teaching them to use media safely.
Screen time includes time spent in front of computers, TVs, videogames, smart phones and iPads/tablets.
The Canadian Paediatric Society recommends:
0-2 years old – no screen time
2-5 years old – less than one hour a day
5+ years old – less than two hours a day
