Common questions
How much screen time is OK for kids?
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests about 1 hour a day of high-quality programming for ages 2 to 5, ideally watched together. From age 6 it recommends consistent limits that protect sleep, activity and homework rather than a fixed number.
Do behavior charts work?
They work best for one or two specific behaviors, with small rewards given soon after the behavior and a chart the child can see. They work less well when they track everything or only record what went wrong.
What helps kids with ADHD follow routines?
Visual schedules, steps short enough to finish in a few minutes, checking things off right away and small, immediate rewards. A routine that is the same every day helps more than a long list of rules.
