On October 21, scientists announced more nuanced guidelines in an attempt to guide parents on how screens of all sorts — TVs, tablets, phones and electronic readers — ought to fit into children’s lives. By moving away from the finger-wagging and diving deep into the shades of gray,

, the recommendations put more onus onto parents to decide what’s best for their families. These new suggestions are “a vast improvement over what we — pediatricians — have done in the past,” says pediatrician Michael Rich of Harvard Medical School.
For young children, the new guidelines offer concrete time limits. For children 5 and older, the recommendations are essentially aimed at having parents understand the value of media,

“We want them to focus on getting enough sleep,

, play, family routines, conversation, social time and exercise,” says pediatrician Jenny Radesky of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor,

As a way to move closer to those media-free zones,

, researchers offer some recommendations for young children based on the latest scientific literature:
Avoid digital media use for children younger than 18 months to 24 months old (with the exception of video chatting).
If you want to introduce media to 18- to 24-month-olds, look for high-quality programs and watch the programs together.
For kids 2 to 5 years old, limit screen use to an hour a day of high-quality programming, and watch the programs together so you can help them understand what they see and relate it to the world.
Keep bedtimes, meals and play time media-free. That means parents,

Screens should be off an hour before bed,
