The American Academy of Pediatrics, their recommendations would be to limit that screen
time to 1 or 2 hours per day. So, that includes ipads, iphones, computer time, video games,
all of those things. They found that anything beyond that is associated with a lot of things:
poor school performance, obesity, diabetes, behavior issues, all of those things.
So, 1 to 2 hours at most per day. Try to have your child have at least 1 hour of physical
activity per day. It does not have to be all at one time, or a strenuous exercise, but
just at least 1 hour per day where they are up, active, running around, doing something
physical. Those two things together will kind of help you have a healthier balance if you
keep those two numbers in mind.
