AI Screen Time Advisor

Guidelines suggest: under 2 years minimal screens, 2-5 years max 1 hour/day, 6+ years consistent limits. But quality matters more than quantity - educational content with parent involvement is different from passive consumption.

Give warnings before transitions, offer choices within limits, create screen-free zones/times (meals, bedrooms), and ensure plenty of engaging alternatives. Involve kids in creating family media rules.

Many 'educational' apps are entertainment with learning claims. Look for apps that require active engagement, adapt to your child's level, and have evidence-based curriculum. Limit passive video watching even if labeled educational.
