Ages 0-2
Experts do not recommend any screen time for children age 0-2. This includes television, movies, iPads, tablets, and smartphones. This is the most important time for caregivers to be interacting with the infant or toddler, which promotes brain development and bonding.
Ages 2+
After two years, caregivers should be interacting with the child and the screen together - asking open-ended questions and encouraging conversation. This helps promote the early literacy skills your child needs to be ready to read.
