For a 16-month-old, pediatric groups advise no daily screen time besides brief video chats, with rare short, shared viewing if used at all.

For screen time during summer, aim 0–1 hour at ages 2–5 and consistent, purpose-led limits at 6+, while protecting sleep, outdoor play, and reading.

For a 2.5-year-old, aim for about 1 hour of high-quality, co-viewed screen time daily; skip screens at meals and 1 hour before bed.

For 6-year-olds, set daily limits: about 1–2 hours of recreational use, while protecting sleep, schoolwork, active play, and family time.

For a 9-year-old, set a family limit for recreational screen time of about 1–2 hours daily and protect sleep, schoolwork, and active play.

Set consistent daily limits (often around 1–2 hours) of high-quality media for a 7-year-old, while protecting sleep, school, active play, and family time.

For a 3-month-old, pediatric groups advise no screen time, except live video chatting; focus on face-to-face play, sleep, and feeding.

For tweens, keep entertainment screens to ~1–2 hours on school days, with limits that protect 9–12 hours of sleep, daily activity, homework, and family time.

For a 5-month-old, screen time should be zero, except brief family video chats; prioritize face-to-face play, sleep, and routines.

For babies under 18 months, skip screens except video chats; from 18–24 months, short high-quality viewing with you; ages 2–5, about one hour daily.
