Digital Media Recommendations<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

With respect to social media, in June of 2024, the US Surgeon General wrote:<\/span><\/p>\n

The mental health crisis among young people is an emergency \u2014 and social media has emerged as an important contributor. Adolescents who spend more than three hours a day on social media face double the risk of anxiety and depression symptoms, and the average daily use in this age group, as of the summer of 2023, was 4.8 hours. Additionally, nearly half of adolescents say social media makes them feel worse about their bodies. It is time to require a surgeon general\u2019s warning label on social media platforms, stating that social media is associated with significant mental health harms for adolescents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of screens, encourage your child to engage in reading books, active and unstructured play and SEVERELY LIMITING ACCESS TO DIGITAL MEDIA via the following plan:<\/span><\/p>\n

We recommend the following media plan:<\/b><\/p>\n

0 – 2yo:
\n<\/b><\/span>\u00b7 No digital media or screen time prior to 2yo<\/span><\/p>\n

3yo and up:
\n<\/b><\/span>\u00b7 Caregivers set good examples by following these rules as well
\n<\/span>\u00b7 Don’t bring video game consoles into your home. They are EXTREMELY habit forming and likely will result in years of friction between you and your child<\/span><\/p>\n

Protect Childhood
\n<\/b>\u00b7 Limit non-school related digital media to 1 hour per day, and only after 1 hour of physical activity, homework is complete, and bedroom is clean.
\n<\/span>\u00b7 No smartphones until high school
\n<\/span>\u00b7 No social media until 16yo<\/span><\/p>\n

Protect Homework and Family Time
\n<\/b>\u00b7 No entertainment media while doing homework or eating with family<\/span><\/p>\n

Protect Time for Sleep
\n<\/b>\u00b7 No digital media in the 1 hour before bedtime
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Disable internet 30min prior to bedtime
\n<\/span>\u00b7 No screens in bedrooms
\n<\/span>\u00b7 Charge devices in parent or caregiver’s bedroom<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
