The best ways to manage your child's use of media & screen time

MILWAUKEE -- The rules have been relaxed. Our child development expert, Jessica Lahner of Carroll University,  joins Real Milwaukee with the recently revamped screen time guild-lines for kids.

The American Academic of Pediatrics (AAP) recently announced an update of their 'no screen time before 2' guidelines

Almost all children ages 0-4 have used a mobile device. Most 2-year-olds use on a daily basis.
Statistics stand regardless of family SES.

18 months and younger: Still no screens

Example:

15 months -2 years.: Only high-quality media with adult interaction/support

2-5 years: 1 hr./ day of high-quality media
