The American Academy of Pediatrics

recommends limiting the media and

technology use of children over 6 years

old so that it doesn’t take the place

of play, talk, study, sleep, and other

healthy behaviors. A technology break

has advantages for adults, too! Enjoy

some family time away from screens by

playing a game, such as Two Can Play.
