Join Oregon Pediatric for this free, lunchtime webinar on screen time and child health. Surveys indicate that only 16% of pediatric providers regularly discuss screen time with their patients.  Yet approximately 98% of US children age 8 years or younger live in an internet-connected home and, on average, have more than 2 hours of screen time daily, exceeding the pediatric guideline recommendation that children spend no more than one hour per day viewing high-quality programming.  Rebecca Hicks, MD, FAAP, IBCLC will present the latest research regarding brain development related to screen time, as well as guidance for integrating this information into clinical practice. Register here.
