Rethinking screens 📱 & immune tips 🛡️

Hi Tiny Parent,

Winter is here - and so is flu season.

This week, we're sharing natural ways to boost your little one's immune system, exciting news about our partnership with Fore Genomics for pediatric genetic health screening and what we're reading about screen time.

BOOST THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM NATURALLY

Flu season is in full swing, and keeping little ones healthy feels like a full-time job right now. We put together a guide on natural ways to support your baby or toddler's immune system - from vitamin-rich foods to simple habits that actually make a difference.

WHAT WE'RE READING THIS WEEK: SCREEN TIME FOR TODDLERS

We came across this Washington Post article on screen time and found the research interesting.

New studies are shifting away from blanket bans and strict time limits. Instead, researchers are focusing on how kids use screens: what they're watching, who they're with and what activities screens might be replacing.

The article highlights what child development experts call "good screen time":

- Content designed for young children (like PBS Kids vs. YouTube)

- Watching with a parent or caregiver

- Using screens as a supplement, not a replacement for play, sleep or family time

The American Academy of Pediatrics recently updated their guidelines to reflect this nuanced approach, emphasizing that context and content matter more than rigid rules.

It's a complex topic, and every family navigates it differently. We thought this perspective was worth sharing.
