It's About Balance, Not Bans
Screens aren't all good or all bad. What matters most is how, when and how much — and whether real-world play, talk and movement still fill most of the day.
Gentle Guidelines That Help
- Keep meals and the hour before bed screen-free
- Watch and talk together rather than alone
- Choose slow, calm, age-appropriate content
- Protect plenty of time for free, hands-on play
Final Thoughts
Children learn most from faces, voices and play. Used thoughtfully, screens can have a small, healthy place in a rich, connected day.
