PHOTOS: Suggestions for parents on limiting screen time for kids
The American Academy of Pediatrics believes families should be open about limiting screen time by creating a "Family Media Plan" to determine just how much time should really be spent surfing the web, playing games, etc.Sean Gallup
Many experts recommend parents be flexible when it comes to their child's screen time. If a homework assignment or school project involves using a mobile device or computer, it is suggested parents be reasonable about allowing screen time in those cases.Adam Berry
Some researchers suggest allowing screen time in the afternoons, usually when children are tired from a long day at school (and without their devices). Giving your child a chance to decompress (time limit is up to you) by playing a game or reading on a device could be helpful in recharging their batteries, so to speak.Kevin Frayer
One specific place in the house that many parents believe should be "screen-free" is the bedroom. Researchers believe more children are using mobile devices right before going to bed, which could have a significant affect on how well they sleep and how many hours they have available for rest.Christopher Furlong
