The AAP has created an interactive tool to help families create a Media Use Plan. Media can create frustration for both parents and children, for example, both parties can feel ignored, or be concerned about excessive use. Both parents and children can lose moments to connect emotionally if devices take the place of face-to-face conversations and interactions. This tool can help set ground rules, and clear expectations around media use (TV, internet and social media) condusive to a healthy home environment and family relationships. Check out today and see if it can help your family. Use the link above.
