Connections: Screen time recommendations for children and teens

Apple is responding to pressure from stakeholders to provide features on its devices that will allow parents to monitor and limit screen time for their children. In response, Apple announced a new app called Screen Time.

This hour, we discuss screen time recommendations for children and teens, and the role that both technology companies and healthcare providers have in working with parents to address issues regarding devices and internet use. Our guests: 

  • Dr. Elizabeth Murray, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics and pediatrician at Golisano Children's Hospital
  • Dr. Steve Cook, M.D., associate professor of pediatrics and pediatrician at Golisano Children's Hospital
  • Dr. Dipesh Navsaria, M.D., associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health
