The American Academy of Pediatrics has determined that TV, smartphones, and tablets are okay for the youngest children…with caveats.
In the App Store, you’ll spot countless educational apps aimed at babies and toddlers. But thus far, there’s been a pretty large caveat that comes with the potential benefits of these experiences. The American Academy of Pediatrics has regularly discouraged any of this screen time, with a blanket recommendation to avoid TV watching and smartphone use by children under two. For children over two, they recommended the limits be set at two hours a day.
