When is screen-time okay and what's the deal with co-viewing.
I think screens can be used as medium of play when you are co-viewing with your child.
I do ask you avoid screen-time before one year of age to foster normal child development. Listen in on when I think it's reasonable after one year.
In this episode I go over:
- Current screen-time recommendations from the AAP
- How to make common sense rules for your family (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zugBuwgLgcc&t=34s)
- What is co-viewing
- How to use the right programming
- Tips on co-viewing
- And so much more!
