Pediatricians Urge Parents To Limit Screen Time For Kids

(Orlando, FL)  —  Doctors are urging parents to limit their children’s screen time.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than an hour a day for kids ages two to five and no viewing at all for children under 18 months.

Dr. Jean Moorjani, a pediatrician in Orlando, Florida, also says it’s important for parents to set a good example for their children.

A new survey by Common Sense Media shows nearly 18-hundred parents of kids ages eight to 18 spend more than nine hours a day with TVs, computers, video games, smartphones and e-readers.

Most of the time spent is personal, rather than work-related.
