Dana Sheridan, counselor from The Village School, joins Sofia Ojeda on KPRC 2 News Today at 10 to talk about the impact of screen time exposure on developmental delays in children, and how to make changes at home to help.

A study out of the University of Houston showed screen time for toddlers under 3 years old watching age-appropriate apps, along with parents’ engagement, can promote creativity, learning, and problem solving.

As the majority of kids in our area are back in school, sleep schedules are no doubt a major part of this year’s routine.

BOSTON The World Health Organization and American Academy of Pediatrics weighed in with screen time guidelines. They were designed to help families ensure young kids were getting enough time for healthy pursuits like physical activity and sleep, but with families at home during the pandemic, should parents relax those screen time guidelines? Radesky explained, I dont want families to feel guilty that theyre not meeting some perfect plan of how to use media. Prior research has found that parent engaged screen time like family video chatting with grandma is beneficial for children. If you binge one day and its just what you needed, you can peel back, the next, Radesky explained.
