"Psychologist Debunks Common Child Screen Time Rule"

Psychologist Dr. Claire Christensen argues that the blanket rule of limiting screen time for kids is more harmful than helpful, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between "good" and "bad" screen time. She suggests that educational content and shows that encourage social interaction and creative play can be beneficial for children's development. Christensen advises parents to release guilt, be proactive in planning screen time, ask open-ended questions, and encourage kids' connections to specific characters to make the most of screen time.
