Screen Time Limits That Actually Work

By Robin Maitland · September 30, 2026

Why Limits Matter

Unlimited screen time correlates with sleep problems and lower grades.

Ages 0-2: Minimal Exposure

No screens except video calls.

Ages 2-5: One Hour Max

High-quality content only, co-viewed.

Ages 6-12: Consistent Rules

Set specific times rather than total minutes.
