Screen Time: Setting Limits and Establishing Healthy Habits
Teenagers are among the most avid users of screens, but it's important to establish guidelines for screen time use to ensure their health and well-being. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than two hours of screen time per day for teenagers, but this can vary depending on the individual and their activities. For example, if a teenager is using a screen for educational purposes, this may be exempt from the two-hour limit.
It's also important to consider the quality of screen time. Encouraging teenagers to engage in activities that involve social interaction, physical exercise, and creative expression can help balance out the negative effects of excessive screen time. Parents can also set limits on the type of content their teenagers consume, such as restricting access to violent or inappropriate material.
Finally, establishing a regular sleep schedule can help regulate screen time use and promote healthy habits.
