Healthy active living (CPS) | CSEP guidelines | Screen time and young children (CPS)

Encourage increased physical activity, with parents as role models, through interactive floor-based play for infants and a variety of activities for young children, and decreased sedentary pastimes.

• Media use – Counsel on appropriate media use; for children <2 years, screen time (eg, TV, computer, electronic games) is not recommended except for video-chatting; for children 2-4 years, screen time should be limited to <1 h/day; less is better; educational and prosocial programming is better.
