A report from Common Sense Media reveals that 40% of toddlers have tablets by age 2. Analyzing the media habits of kids under 8, the report indicates that while screen time amounts remain consistent, consumption methods are shifting towards short-form videos on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. Parents, like Sonny Thadani, struggle with managing their children's device usage while balancing personal and professional challenges. Jim Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media, emphasizes delaying device use and encouraging parental awareness of children's screen activities as key strategies for better media management.
"Do we rely on it as parents too much? And is that our first sort of answer? And I think for me, sometimes it is."
"It's important for parents to know what their kids are doing on screens."
"Delay, delay, delay"—referring to when parents should start letting their children use various devices.
