Dartmouth Health Children's is hoping to spread some insight on how to help children manage screen time and social media.

She suggested that parents should encourage children to engage in physical activities, reading, and face-to-face interactions. The recommendations align with the American Academy of Pediatrics' guidelines, which advocate for no more than one hour of screen time per day for children aged 2 to 5, and consistent limits for older children.
