Doctors Call for Limits on Kids’ Media Usage

A new challenge for parents: Limiting the time their kids spend using things like computers and smartphones.

FOX News Radio’s Sal Giangrasso reports:

Violence and cyber-bullying, problems in school, obesity and lack of sleep… These are just a few of the problems that can result when kids tweet, text and spend too much time on their smartphones and computers. So, the American Academy of Pediatrics says, parents need to act like parents:

(Strausburger) “Cell phones should go night-night at 10pm in a basket in the kitchen where they’re being recharged. No TV sets, no computers in the bedroom.”

Dr. Victor Strasburger is the lead author of the new policy the hard part is keeping teens from rolling their eyes and texting LOL — laughing out loud.
