What do you consider a sensible approach to screen use for children under three?

Child psychiatrists say screen use in the first three years hurts every area of development. Emily Oster, however, advises parents not to rely just on alarming headlines but to look into the actual risks.

  • Very little, with an adult present, used mindfully
  • What they watch matters more than how long
  • The scare is overblown; kids grow out of it
