'Yes, I’ve read the recommendations. I just think they’re a little overblown.'
animated shorts, he’s asking why a character feels a certain way, or what a mysterious object is . The basic goal of parenting is to teach our kids both how the world functions and how to live in it. Why can’t the glowing box in our living rooms, the one overflowing with information, do some of that work?decreed that kids shouldn’t engage with screens
before age 2, and that once they do, their exposure should max out at an hour a day. Look, I believe in science. I’m not one of those moms who does “research” on Facebook and decides their local essential oil purveyor knows more than a cadre of academics. The studies on screens and kids under two are both illuminating and compelling. Toddlers, it seems, fail to learn much from screens because they don’t view what they see on them as part of the real world.
If that’s how toddlers interpret what’s on a screen, there’s little hope for them becoming geniuses after taking in Baby Einstein, and it’s reasonable to conclude that every hour spent watching is a potential hour of enrichment lost. But I fail to see whyscreen time is bad for under-twos, and I certainly don’t believe it’s some grave disservice to a child.
Screen time hysteria feels to me like little more than the moral panic du jour. In the eighties, it was moms “abandoning” their kids to go to work; in the nineties, it was parents letting kids play violent video games; today, we’re mushing our kids’ brains by showing them. Isn’t it wild that somehow parents are always, always doing it wrong? If your 18-month-old watches a movie to get through a flight, you’re not going to parent jail.
If the standard AAP screen time policy feels right to you, great. If your kids would struggle to peel themselves off the couch if you went limitless on TV and need boundaries for this reason, also great— you know your child and what’s right for them. And that’s exactly my point. Short of letting them juggle knives , every parent should do what feels best to, for their particular kids.

Review: Yes, ‘Ambulance’ is stupid — but oh boy, is it funMichael Bay's “Ambulance” is a bifurcated mess that can’t decide what kind of movie it wants to be and so chooses instead to be several movies at once. Yet in spite of (or perhaps because of) its myriad flaws, it’s impossible to resist the film’s siren song. FOX film critic Allison Shoemaker reviews the action expert's latest.
