Agonizing Over Screen Time? Follow The Three C’s
Certainly, existing screen time recommendations (no screen time for children under 18 months and less than one hour of daily high-quality programming for 2- to 5-year-olds) don’t really account for the reality of how we use media. Sure, our children use screens to watch cartoons, but they also need them to connect with teachers, classmates and grandparents.
Ways To Help Your Child Cope During a Pandemic
How does all this affect children? No doubt some of my readers would have quite a bit of insight to offer! The situations readers are dealing with are no doubt highly diverse. All I can offer are general guidelines. These rely on what psychologists have learned from prior public crises (e.g., the 9/11 attacks, earthquakes, and some others). I thank my colleague Linda Schmidt, M.D., for helpful insights.
Disclaimer: Caribu was built to be safe and secure for families and trusted contacts. Adults set up the Caribu account and add other trusted family members so that their kids can do an activity in a video-call with a trusted adult. We expect that every account created is created by an adult and those two adults are known to each other before a child engages in a Caribu Call. We expect that all organizations have done extensive background checks and fingerprinting to ensure the safety of children in Caribu Calls. We cannot take on liability for any callers, participants, or content of calls, and we disclaim any third party claims or issues. We implore you to ensure that you have the strictest protections in place before using Caribu to create your program virtually, as you should when you use Caribu for any purpose. Please use your own discretion in offering our program to chosen readers and participants, and take all possible precautions to keep your children and families safe.
