- The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that babies younger than 18 months get no screen time at all. The exception to this rule is video chatting with grandparents or other family members or friends, which is considered quality time interacting with others.

Perhaps that is why the World Health Organization recommends no screen time for babies under 2 and no more than one hour of screen time a day for those aged 2 to 4. Screens hijack attention spans. For children to be successful, they need to learn how to concentrate and focus.

Decades of research on screen time has revealed associations with both positive and negative developmental outcomes (see below). But the evidence is far from conclusive and more research into the effects of screen time on children is needed(Stiglic, 2019). This mixed evidence base has led to unclear and contradictory recommendations around screen t...
In the UK, neither the NHS nor the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) have any detailed guidance for screen time among babies and toddlers yet. But they do recommend an upper limit of two hours per day for all children(NHS, 2017). The UK’s Chief Medical Officer suggests a ‘precautionary approach’ balanced against the potential benefit...
Increased screen time is linked to many health issues, like obesity and diabetes, as it encourages a more sedentary lifestyle(Robinson, 1999; NHS 2017; Stiglic and Viner, 2019). For example, one study found that children who used screens for more than two hours a day were more likely to have high blood pressure(de Moraes et al, 2014). One of the mo...
It’s not just physical health that might be affected by too much screen time. One study found that as a child’s daily screen time increased, children reported lower levels of self-worth and self-esteem, and more anxiety and depression(Public Health England, 2013; Stiglic, 2019). But another large study found that any negative effects of screens on ...

Apr 24, 2019 · Sedentary screen time, including computer games, should not happen before a child is two, the WHO says. The limit for two- to four-year-olds is an hour a day and less is better.
Dec 16, 2023 · For children up to 18 months old: Limit screen time to only video calls (for instance, with a family member who is out of town) with an adult present. At this age, children learn better from hands-on, real-world experience and interaction with caregivers than through screens.
Apr 24, 2019 · Sedentary screen time, including computer games, should not happen before a child is two, the WHO says. The limit for two- to four-year-olds is an hour a day and less is better.
But many experts worry that too much screen time may be harmful for babies and children, even at a very young age (Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood 2012). The professional body for paediatricians, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, says that children are exposed to screens for longer amounts of time than ever before.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends avoiding screen media for children younger than 18 months. Children under 18 months cannot translate what they perceive on a two-dimensional screen into the physical world.
