Common questions
How much screen time is right?
There is no single number for every child. Many guides focus on sleep, play, school and family time first, and set limits around those.
How do I enforce rules calmly?
Agree on them ahead of time, keep them predictable and follow through without a long debate.
Is this parenting or medical advice?
No. For concerns about your child's health or development, ask your pediatrician.
