New Screen Time Recommendation for Young Children: Nothing to Very Little

New guidelines released by the World Health Organization call for at least 3 hours of physical activity a day and no more than 60 minutes of sedentary screen time a day for children ages 2 to 4. Babies and toddlers should not use screens at all. These guidelines, criticized for not delineating types of screen use, were designed to combat the global rise in obesity leading to higher mortality rates.
