Is There a Right Age for Media Exposure?

How does media exposure effect children? According to Dr. Michael Rich, Director of CMCH, research links children’s overuse and overexposure of media to health issues such as obesity, anxiety, and aggression.

Dr. Rich explains that parents should share developmentally appropriate

screen media. For older kids, parents should limit screen time to
an hour or two a day. Media can be positive, but parents should make
decisions about how much and what kind of media their children consume.
