Limit TV: The aap recommends no screen time for children until 2 years old. Even after 2 years old screen time (including computers) should generally be limited (1-2 hrs). Programming designed to attract the attention of young children has frequent scene changes and can increase attention deficits. Some programs (like mr. Rogers neighborhood) don't cause as many problems. Playing with your child is best!

Can children wear night guards? Our seven year old son grinds his teeth at night, and i've worn a night guard for bruxism for many years as an adult. Do they have the same things for kids, and if so, do they have to always get new ones due to growth?
