Co-watching screen-time and how to do it

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!
