[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is an interesting program on screen time and toddlers (I know it says tv but discussion is about screen time).  While the show is focused on preschoolers, it raises interesting points that could be applied to older kids as well.

Thanks for the link - listened to almost the whole thing on my way home from work.  One thing I wanted to mention - both Doctors on the call, including one co-author of the original American Academy of Pediatrics study, were clear that "screen time" in this context meant passive video viewing not apps or educational information presented on a screen.  I think they said at one point that the original study was done right around the time the first iPad came out, when the term "screen time" was more synonymous with watching TV than it is today.

So, this information was not really applicable to the use of 'screens' at DCI but interesting nonetheless.
