Are Digital Screens the new Babysitters?

Recently the American Pediatric Association recommended that parents restrict children's "screen" time to two hours a day (not including school). This includes TV, computers, tablets, etc. This is based on rates of obesity and physical health. Unfortunately, in a recent study only 27% of kids have accomplished this. We need to do better.

In a related story, there is a report of an allergic reaction to the nickel in an ipad. The child continued to break out until an appropriate case was placed on it. Maybe we should add more irritating chemicals to children's tablets!
