American Academy Of Pediatrics Releases New Screen Time Guidelines For Kids

The American Academy of Pediatrics is out with new screen time guidelines for children.

Experts say the new recommendations address the digital age we live in, but reiterates that limits are necessary.

The new guidelines recommend children under 18 months should avoid all screen time except video chatting.

Children ages 2 to 5 should be limited to one hour per day of media.

Children 6 and older should have consistent time limits on how much time they get.
