Quality makes a difference!
Watching Sponge Bob vs. building their own website are not the same!

Use it in small increments!
Make sure your child checks in with you every 15-30 minutes. If they are in the midst of creating their greatest story ever, they might continue. If they are watching their 52nd YouTube video, it's time to turn it off.

AAP Policy on Television Watching
Main recommendations include keeping screen time under two hours per day. Many of the concerns related to violence, commercials, lack of physical activity. Consider ways to incorporate balance into daily routine. Remember, screen time isn't bad, but too much is not healthy.
