Decrease I-pad time: At this tender age, his body and neck muscles are still growing. Typically people lean forward which can put the neck muscles under strain. The American academy of pediatrics recommends no more than 2 hours total on media devices per day. This will require rest & finding other activities that engage other muscle groups.However do take him in to see the pediatrician for a checkup just to make sure.
