✅Create a family technology plan and set boundaries on digital media.

✅Delay use of personal tablets.

✅Watch and play alongside your children to monitor digital content.

✅Use parental controls.



Check out the full article from the AAP, which provides even more recommendations and resources, such as a “Phone Ready questionnaire” and sample conversation starters about media: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/family-life/Media/Pages/helping-kids-thrive-in-a-digital-world-AAP-policy-explained.aspx
