The PedsDocTalk Podcast: Child Health, Development & Parenting—From a Pediatrician Mom

Co-watching screen-time and how to do it

Listen Later

When is screen-time okay and what's the deal with co-viewing.


I think screens can be used as medium of play when you are co-viewing with your child.


I do ask you avoid screen-time before one year of age to foster normal child development. Listen in on when I think it's reasonable after one year. 


In this episode I go over:

  • Current screen-time recommendations from the AAP
  • How to make common sense rules for your family (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zugBuwgLgcc&t=34s)
  • What is co-viewing
  • How to use the right programming
  • Tips on co-viewing 
  • And so much more!
