According to the Australian Government and the World Health Organisation, children under two should have zero screen time. But Dr Kate Highfield, General Manager of Professional Learning and Research Translation at Early Childhood Australia thinks that’s overly simplistic and unrealistic.

Kate has more information on screens and the under-twos at the Early Childhood Australia blog. Dr Kristy Goodwin’s website can be found here.
