It's not about time limits, it's about the content, said Annie Frazier, education program manager for PBS Utah.She urged parents to look for apps and games created and screened by educators. When using the apps, Frazier suggested interacting with your child to enhance the learning process.
When playing games on screens, make it a family event by playing together and making sure you are nearby. She warned against screen restrictions and regulations, saying they can break down the lines of communication. Mother of four Meghan Ballard agreed that balance is key. She has seen the benefits of letting her 3-year-old play games on the iPad that focus on sight words.
