Age-Appropriate Electronic Gifts for Your Child
Today, with the ubiquitous nature of media in multiple formats, the definition of "media" use has been expanded. Kids are now spending more than seven hours per day using televisions, computers, phones and other electronic devices for entertainment.

There's just no way around it; electronic devices are a part of your child's life and school experience.

That means that monitoring your child's use of these devices is as important as ever.

There are some great educational electronic devices out there, and having your child use them is better than just letting them surf the web.

Listen in as David Hill, MD, discusses appropriate electronic devices for your child.
