Interesting new-to-me recommendations on screen usage for kids from AAP via NPR (2016):

  • no screens under 18 months, unless it’s live video chat (RIP Omegle)
  • 15mo to 18mo: screens alongside parents only (e.g. iPad like picture book)
  • 2-5 y/o: Sesame Workshop and PBS for trusted educational media

Kids 2-5 should limit to one hour per day, and co-view with caregivers.

I’d be surprised if someone read “iPad kid” as “kid whose mom spends seven hours per week sharing together in PBS4iPad”.

I’m glad you’re sticking up for autistic kids and overworked parents. I do think it’s good to advocate against wholesale turnover of parenting to dopamine scrollers… wherever possible! If you work three minimum wage jobs to survive, I hope we recognize you’ll have to do the best you can.
