Research shows that screen time is not harmful by itself. According to global guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO, 2019) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP, 2020), children above 2 years can safely use screens when usage is limited, high-quality, and supervised. Mindful co-viewing, age-appropriate content, and clear time boundaries help support learning, language development, and social interaction. What matters most is how screens are used, not just the time spent. When guided well, screens can become tools that enhance connection, curiosity, and shared learning within the family.
