abstractInfants, toddlers, and preschoolers are now growing up in environments saturated with a variety of traditional and new technologies, which they

are adopting at increasing rates. Although there has been much hope

for the educational potential of interactive media for young children,

accompanied by fears about their overuse during this crucial period of rapid

brain development, research in this area still remains limited. This policy

statement reviews the existing literature on television, videos, and mobile/

interactive technologies; their potential for educational benefi t; and related

health concerns for young children (0 to 5 years of age). The statement also

highlights areas in which pediatric providers can offer specifi c guidance

to families in managing their young children’s media use, not only in terms

of content or time limits, but also emphasizing the importance of parent–

child shared media use and allowing the child time to take part in other

developmentally healthy activities.

INTRODUCTION

Technologic innovation has transformed media and its role in the lives

of infants and young children. More children, even in economically

challenged households, are using newer digital technologies, such

as interactive and mobile media, on a daily basis 1 and continue to be

the target of intense marketing. 2 This policy statement addresses the

influence of media on the health and development of children from 0

to 5 years of age, a time of critical brain development, building secure

relationships, and establishing health behaviors.

INFANTS AND TODDLERS

Children younger than 2 years need hands-on exploration and social

interaction with trusted caregivers to develop their cognitive, language,

motor, and social-emotional skills. Because of their immature symbolic,

memory, and attentional skills, infants and toddlers cannot learn from

traditional digital media as they do from interactions with caregivers, 3

and they have difficulty transferring that knowledge to their

3-dimensional experience. 4 The chief factor that facilitates toddlers’

FROM THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS

learning from commercial media

(starting around 15 months of age)

is parents watching with them and

reteaching the content. 5, 6

The interactivity of touchscreens

enables applications (apps) to

identify when a child responds

accurately and then tailor its

responses, thereby supporting

children at their levels of

competence. Emerging evidence

shows that at 24 months of age,

children can learn words from live

video-chatting with a responsive

adult 7 or from an interactive

touchscreen interface that scaffolds

the child to choose the relevant

answers. 8 Starting at 15 months of

age, toddlers can learn novel words

from touchscreens in laboratory-

based studies but have trouble

transferring this knowledge to the

3-dimensional world. 9 However,

it should be noted that these

experiments used specially designed

apps that are not commercially

available.

Many parents now use video-chat (eg,

Skype, FaceTime) as an interactive

media form that facilitates social

connection with distant relatives.

New evidence shows that infants and

toddlers regularly engage in video-

chatting, 10 but the same principles

regarding need for parental support

would apply in order for infants and

toddlers to understand what they are

seeing.

In summary, for children younger

than 2 years, evidence for benefits

of media is still limited, adult

interaction with the child during

media use is crucial, and there

continues to be evidence of harm

from excessive digital media use, as

described later in this statement.

PRESCHOOL MEDIA AND LEARNING

Well-designed television programs,

such as Sesame Street, can

improve cognitive, literacy, and

social outcomes for children 3 to

5 years of age 11, 12 and continue

to create programming that

addresses evolving child health and

developmental needs (eg, obesity

prevention, resilience). Evaluations

of apps from Sesame Workshop and

the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)

also have shown efficacy in teaching

literacy skills to preschoolers. 2

Unfortunately, most apps parents

find under the “educational”

category in app stores have no such

evidence of efficacy, target only rote

academic skills, are not based on

established curricula, and use little

or no input from developmental

specialists or educators. 2, 13 Most

apps also generally are not designed

for a dual audience (ie, both parent

and child). 2, 14 It is important to

emphasize to parents that the higher-

order thinking skills and executive

functions essential for school

success, such as task persistence,

impulse control, emotion regulation,

and creative, flexible thinking, are

best taught through unstructured

and social (not digital) play, 15 as

well as responsive parent–child

interactions. 16

Digital books (also called “eBooks, ”

books that can be read on a screen)

often come with interactive

enhancements that, research

suggests, may decrease child

comprehension of content or parent

dialogic reading interactions when

visual effects are distracting. 17

Parents should, therefore, be

instructed to interact with children

during eBook reading, as they would

a print book.

HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL CONCERNS

Obesity

Heavy media use during preschool

years is associated with small but

significant increases in BMI, 18 may

explain disparities in obesity risk

in minority children, 19 and sets

the stage for weight gain later

in childhood. 20 Although many

studies have used a 2-hour cutoff

to examine obesity risk, a recent

study of 2-year-olds found that BMI

increased for every hour per week

of media consumed. 21 It is believed

that exposure to food advertising22

and watching television while

eating (which diminishes attention

to satiety cues) 23 drives these

associations.

Sleep

Increased duration of media

exposure and the presence of a

television, computer, or mobile

device in the bedroom in early

childhood have been associated with

fewer minutes of sleep per night. 24

Even infants exposed to screen

media in the evening hours show

significantly shorter night-time sleep

duration than those with no evening

screen exposure. 25 Mechanisms

underlying this association include

arousing content 26 and suppression

of endogenous melatonin by blue

light emitted from screens. 27

Child Development

Population-based studies continue to

show associations between excessive

television viewing in early childhood

and cognitive, 28 – 30 language, 31, 32 and

social/emotional delays, 33 – 36 likely

secondary to decreases in parent–

child interaction when the television

is on37 and poorer family functioning

in households with high media use. 37

An earlier age of media use onset,

greater cumulative hours of media

use, and non-PBS content all are

significant independent predictors

of poor executive functioning in

preschoolers. 38 Content is crucial:

experimental evidence shows that

switching from violent content

to educational/prosocial content

results in significant improvement

in behavioral symptoms, particularly

for low-income boys. 12 Notably,

the quality of parenting can modify

associations between media use

and child development: one study

found that inappropriate content

2 by guest on February 7, 2018http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/Downloaded from

PEDIATRICS Volume 138 , number 5 , November 2016

and inconsistent parenting had

cumulative negative effects on low-

income preschoolers’ executive

function, whereas warm parenting

and educational content interacted to

produce additive benefits. 39

Child characteristics also may

influence how much media children

consume: excessive television

viewing is more likely in infants

and toddlers with a difficult

temperament 40, 41 or self-regulation

problems, 42 and toddlers with social-

emotional delays are more likely

to be given a mobile device to calm

them down. 43

Parental Media Use

Parents’ background television

use distracts from parent–child

interactions 44 and child play. 45

Heavy parent use of mobile devices

is associated with fewer verbal and

nonverbal interactions between

parents and children 46 and may be

associated with more parent-child

conflict. 47 Because parent media use

is a strong predictor of child media

habits, 48 reducing parental media

use and enhancing parent–child

interactions may be an important

area of behavior change.

CONCLUSIONS: CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS

In summary, multiple developmental

and health concerns continue to exist

for young children using all forms

of digital media to excess. Evidence

is sufficient to recommend time

limitations on digital media use for

children 2 to 5 years to no more than

1 hour per day to allow children

ample time to engage in other

activities important to their health

and development and to establish

media viewing habits associated

with lower risk of obesity later

in life. 49 In addition, encouraging

parents to change to educational and

prosocial content and engage with

their children around technology

will allow children to reap the most

benefit from what they view.

As digital technologies become more

ubiquitous, pediatric providers

must guide parents not only on the

duration and content of media their

child uses, but also on (1) creating

unplugged spaces and times in their

homes, because devices can now

be taken anywhere; (2) the ability

of new technologies to be used in

social and creative ways; and (3)

the importance of not displacing

sleep, exercise, play, reading aloud,

and social interactions. Realistically,

pediatric providers will need to know

how to help parents find resources

finding appropriate content, tools

for monitoring or limiting child use,

ideas for play or activities in which

to engage rather than digital play,

and how parents can limit their own

media use (see HealthyChildren.

org for examples); each of these can

be built into the Family Media Use

Plan (see the American Academy

of Pediatrics guide to developing a

plan at www. healthychildren. org/

MediaUsePlan).

RECOMMENDATIONS

Pediatricians

• Start the conversation early. Ask parents of infants and young

children about family media use,

their children’s use habits, and

media use locations.

• Help families develop a Family Media Use Plan

(www. healthychildren. org/

MediaUsePlan) with specific

guidelines for each child and

parent.

• Educate parents about brain development in the early years

and the importance of hands-on,

unstructured, and social play to

build language, cognitive, and

social-emotional skills.

• For children younger than 18 months, discourage use of screen

media other than video-chatting.

• For parents of children 18 to 24 months of age who want to

introduce digital media, advise

that they choose high-quality

programming/apps and use them

together with children, because

this is how toddlers learn best.

Letting children use media by

themselves should be avoided.

• Guide parents to resources for finding quality products (eg,

Common Sense Media, PBS Kids,

Sesame Workshop).

• In children older than 2 years, limit media to 1 hour or less per

day of high-quality programming.

Recommend shared use between

parent and child to promote

enhanced learning, greater

interaction, and limit setting.

• Recommend no screens during meals and for 1 hour before

bedtime.

• Problem-solve with parents facing challenges, such as setting limits,

finding alternate activities, and

calming children.

Families

• Avoid digital media use (except video-chatting) in children younger

than 18 to 24 months.

• For children ages 18 to 24 months of age, if you want to introduce

digital media, choose high-quality

programming and use media

together with your child. Avoid

solo media use in this age group.

• Do not feel pressured to introduce technology early; interfaces are so

intuitive that children will figure

them out quickly once they start

using them at home or in school.

• For children 2 to 5 years of age, limit screen use to 1 hour per day

of high-quality programming,

coview with your children, help

children understand what they are

seeing, and help them apply what

they learn to the world around

them.

3 by guest on February 7, 2018http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/Downloaded from

FROM THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS

• Avoid fast-paced programs (young children do not understand

them as well), apps with lots of

distracting content, and any violent

content.

• Turn off televisions and other devices when not in use.

• Avoid using media as the only way to calm your child. Although there

are intermittent times (eg, medical

procedures, airplane flights) when

media is useful as a soothing

strategy, there is concern that

using media as strategy to calm

could lead to problems with limit

setting or the inability of children

to develop their own emotion

regulation. Ask your pediatrician

for help if needed.

• Monitor children’s media content and what apps are used or

downloaded. Test apps before the

child uses them, play together, and

ask the child what he or she thinks

about the app.

• Keep bedrooms, mealtimes, and parent–child playtimes screen free

for children and parents. Parents

can set a “do not disturb” option on

their phones during these times.

• No screens 1 hour before bedtime, and remove devices from

bedrooms before bed.

• Consult the American Academy of Pediatrics Family Media Use Plan,

available at: www. healthychildren.

org/ MediaUsePlan.

Industry

• Work with developmental psychologists and educators to

create design interfaces that are

appropriate to child developmental

abilities, that are not distracting,

and that promote shared parent–

child media use and application

of skills to the real world. Cease

making apps for children younger

than 18 months until evidence of

benefit is demonstrated.

• Formally and scientifically evaluate products before making

educational claims.

• Make high-quality products accessible and affordable to low-

income families and in multiple

languages.

• Eliminate advertising and unhealthy messages on

apps. Children at this age

cannot differentiate between

advertisements and factual

information, and therefore,

advertising to them is

unethical.

• Help parents to set limits by stopping auto-advance of videos

as the default setting. Develop

systems embedded in devices that

can help parents monitor and limit

media use.
