Summary

EP90. As parents, all we hear about is how bad screens are for kids. We are bombarded with guidelines about how much screen time kids should get and what kinds of shows they should be watching. Dr. Cindy Hovington breaks down what the research actually says about screens. She gives us tips for how to manage screen time at home, she tells us what her favourite kids shows are, and she stresses the importance of balance when it comes to screens and other activities.
