Children under 5 getting excessive screen time, study finds

Researchers said one in four children younger than 2 years and one in three children aged 2 to 5 years are meeting screen time guidelines.

They’re asking for public health leaders to promote more initiatives dedicated to healthy screen time use.

In 2019, The World Health Organization issued its first-ever guidance for how much screen time children under 5 should get: not very much, and none at all for those under 1.That’s once every 10 minutes, according to global tech care company Asurion. The guidelines are somewhat similar to advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics. That group recommends children younger than 18 months should avoid screens other than video chats. It says parents of young children under two should choose "high-quality programming" with educational value and that can be watched with a parent to help kids understand what they’re seeing.
