Well, between dista learning and parents just trying to preserve their sanity, kids are getting a lot of screen time these days. How concerned should parents be about this .

The American Academy of pedi pediatrics has guidelines and we all stand by them. Nobody wrote those guidelines with the asterisk saying heres what you do during a pandemic. Here we are Distance Learning and using screens for survival. Abc7 news special correspondent says all is not lost. You can still create techfree zones in your house and still say, hey, no screen time in the bedroom or no screen time at the dinner table. We can still encourage back and forth dialogue as much as we can. You can still encourage your children to play. Play is huge, especially for little kids. Consumer reports suggests scheduling it into the day. Build in times toot be on screens whether that is raining hanging out on your porch, going for a walk if you can. Even board game time inside. Planning stuff where screens arent a part of it so its an easy thing to switch in to this is not a screen time for us. When the kids are watching tv, watch with them. What about educational apps. A lot of parents are asking dr. Patel if theyre okay. Theyre going to tell you theyre educational so theyll get you to pay for that, but a lot of people arent. They should check Common Sense Media to look to see if those apps really are educational or a marketing ploy. If you have teens some extra things to watch out for. Make sure were taking care of their posture and their eye health and theyre also stretching and getting and looking away from the screen every 15 minutes or so stretching out their back. Those are Little Things weve never seen this amount of screen time in teens. Nobody wants to see in six months from now we all of a sudden have eye strain and headaches and back pain from teens who are sitting in front of a screen 8 to 12 hours a day.
