Screen time gets more bad press than a Hollywood star in rehab. But the fact is, not all screen time is the same. Screen time is like food: Some of it’s bad for you and some of it’s good for you, and moderation is key. Via Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa)

"If it seems like your kids are constantly plugged in, tapping away on their iPhones, obsessively gaming and SnapChatting way more than they're actually ... chat-chatting -- well, that's because they are. It's estimated that children ages 8 to 18 spend an average of seven hours a day behind screens; teens send an average of 3,417 text messages each month; and 97 percent of adolescents have at least one electronic device in their bedrooms."

This seems a little excessive, they recommend only 1 hour of screen time for children. I understand that kids that spend more time on screens may not reach certain development targets, but what if they are watching educational programs? My daughter is 1 and I allow her to watch different learning shows, which have actually helped her with talking, cleaning up, sharing, etc. This article talks about how even if they specific show is showing the children different activities, it does not translate to doing the activity in real life. I feel like that is partially true but partially not. For example, when my daughter watches her cartoon people cleaning up, she actually does it. So technically she is doing the activity in real life. I agree that screen time for children should not be programs that are irrelevant to learning. But, I feel like in this century many MANY programs should be used for children to learn and to help them meet development targets. With that being said the recommendation of 1 hour a day for children is not as good as it sounds and could actually take away learning tools.
