SHOW NOTES

[object Object]
DEFINITION of TODDLER SCREENTIME: The amount of time you let your toddler watch a screen (in any form).

Key elements to consider are:

  • WHAT is your kid watching?
  • WHEN is your kid watching?
  • HOW MUCH is your kid watching?
  • Parents are ambivalent (meaning there are pro AND cons...and this technology is new, so we don't even know the long term effects). This causes us stress and guilt.
  • Communicate clear boundaries around screen time.
  • Consider bio-individuality of your child.
  • Some good shows- Little Einsteins, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, and Dora the Explorer are some of Milo's favorites. Valentine likes Super Why.
  • Notice effects on physical, emotional, mental health or sleep schedule.
  • Radiation from screens and how this affects your individual child are to be considered.
  • Grounding techniques can help with all the radiation in the environment.

BOTTOM LINE: Be mindful around your technology.....and as with everything, use your intuition.

How many hours a day do you let your toddler (or kid) watch a screen? Let us know how long you let your mini watch the telly and how old they are in the comments section. And PLEASE leave a 5 star review for us on iTunes,  we read every comment and are so grateful for your support.
