While still recommending that parents of children younger than 18 months should avoid use of screen media \u2013 other than video chatting with a responsive adult \u2013 the AAP now says that parents of toddlers and preschoolers who want to introduce digital media should choose high-quality programming, watch it with their childr en to help them understand what they\u2019re seeing, and limit the amount of screen time to no more than one hour per day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/files.firstthingsfirst.org\/Blog\/Media\/Default\/BlogThumbnails\/AAP%20Guidelines_Blog_Lokey_Headshot_12.6.16-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"217\" align=\"right\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that media use is a challenging issue for today\u2019s parents.
