YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

According to new eye-opening research by Common Sense Media on children and their use of phones and tablets, kids under two are averaging an hour of screen time a day, even as the American Academy of Pediatrics says kids under 18 months old should not have any screen time. The study also shows that by age two, 40% of kids have their own tablet and by age four, more than half do. Reporting for TODAY, NBC’s Kate Snow details more of the study's findings.
