Is the American Academy of Pediatrics Copping Out on Screens

According to a recent article titled, “Pediatricians to tweak ‘outdated’ screen time recommendations for kids,” the American Academy of Pediatrics, that esteemed organization charged with protecting the health and well-being of children, has decided that their recommendations of limited screen time—basically no screen time for children under 2 years old and only two hours a day for teenagers—need to be updated.

But, according to the article, all indications are that the changes are heading in the wrong direction. “Dr. Ari Brown, chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics' group investigating media use, explains, ‘Look at our world. It has changed... and so we have to approach the world as it is and figure out ways to make it work.’”
