Screen time for toddlers: simple, practical tips
Easy, realistic ways to manage screen time for toddlers and preschoolers, without daily battles.
Why it matters
Young children learn best by talking, playing, moving and exploring with the people around them. Too much screen time can take time away from these activities and from sleep.
Simple tips that work
Keep screens away during meals and before bedtime. Watch together and talk about what you see. Choose slow, gentle programmes made for young children. Set a simple routine so screen time has a clear start and end.
Offer easy alternatives
Picture books, building blocks, crayons, play dough and simple outdoor play keep little hands busy. Short, everyday jobs like sorting socks or watering plants make children feel helpful.
Be kind to yourself
Every family uses screens sometimes. Small, steady changes matter more than perfect rules.
