While guidelines from the World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics give recommendations on screen time, tracking it is likened to counting calories—partially accurate but misleading. Instead of minute-by-minute analysis, parents should think about the time of day, content, what it replaces, and what it adds. Focusing on these factors is more beneficial for promoting healthy screen habits, considering the impact screens have on sleep, emotional well-being, and life skills development. It's crucial to prioritize high-quality doses of exercise, boredom, sleep, and real friendships over excessive screen time, shifting the narrative from quantity to context and timing.
