Kids are addicted to screens, but not the O.G. flat screen that's still attached to mom and dad's cable box.

Babies shouldn't watch TV or use screen-based media, the AAP says. It's okay to introduce small amounts of high-quality, supervised screen time to toddlers after 18 months, but if you can wait until your child turns 2, that's even better.
What Is Another Show Like Cocomelon? The popular national sensation created in 2018 called “Bluey” is an excellent substitute for “Cocomelon.” Bluey, a six-year-old blue heeler puppy, lives with her younger sister (who is only 4 years old), her mother and father Chili and Bandit, and their friends.

Experts agree that under the age of two, children shouldn't have any screen time at all. After that, and up to the age of 12, it's recommended that they have only one hour of viewing a day. For children on the younger end of that spectrum, that time should also be supervised.
Toddlers 18 months to 24 months old can start to enjoy some screen time with a parent or caregiver. Children this age can learn when an adult is there to reinforce lessons. By ages 2 and 3, it's OK for kids to watch up to 1 hour a day of high-quality educational programming.
Good evidence suggests that screen viewing before age 18 months has lasting negative effects on children's language development, reading skills, and short term memory. It also contributes to problems with sleep and attention.
