The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Society of Pediatrics state infants aged 0-2 years should not have any exposure to technology, 3-5 years be restricted to one hour per day, and 6-18 years restricted to 2 hours per day (AAP 2001/13, CPS 2010). Pediatric occupational therapist Cris Rowan calls on parents, teachers and governments to ban the use of all handheld devices for children under the age of 12 years in a blog on Huff Post Parents.
