Devices are part of our everyday lives. But the World Health Organization says it's essential to a child's healthy development that screens do not become integral too soon. In a report released Wednesday, WHO said that children under 5 years old should be spending less time staring at screens and more time playing to be healthy. Translation: No more than one hour of screen time.

WHO is concerned that too much screen time paired with sedentary behavior in children under 5 can lead to inadequate sleep and low activity levels.

For Infants under 1, no screen time at all. Infants should be active several times a day through floor-based play. If the baby isn't mobile, they should have at least 30 minutes of "tummy time" throughout the day. Infants shouldn't be restrained for more than one hour at a time in strollers, high chairs, or strap-on carriers. Screen time isn't recommended for 1-year-olds, and WHO suggests less than an hour a day for 2-year-olds. 

Children 1 to 2 years old should have about three hours of physical activity throughout the day and not be restrained for more than one hour at a time.

3- to 4-year-olds shouldn't go over one hour of screen time. Kids this age should participate in about three hours' worth of physical activity per day.
