As computers, tablets and phones become increasingly integral to our lives at all ages, it's important to be thoughtful about introducing young children to media. Tips for parents include limiting TV time and watching alongside children to add context. Setting media-free spaces, encouraging screen-free activities, and avoiding making screen time a reward for good behavior are also good practices.
