“Some types of screen fare are like sugar”. Hope other #parents love this #screentime #foodpyramid as much as I do! Junk #media is just as bad as #junkfood. @CommonSense @mmfa @healthychildren @MUSCkids. thanks @jennyradesky and @WIRED for helping frame screentime in a new way.

Harrington's article: not all screen time is created equal, helpful for parents to utilize media in a developmentally friendly manner. Ties in with this month's JDBP article on Screen Media and Autism Spectrum Disorder-highlights how important this is...https://t.co/vX8BsBvadP

On behalf of @AmerAcadPeds, I stand in support of @DrPanMD and his important work to promote vaccines. No one should endure physical violence for advancing policies that protect children’s health and support science. #VaccinesWork

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

Yesterday, the National Council Medical Director Institute released, “Mass Violence in America: Causes, Impacts and Solutions,” a new report following recent episodes of mass violence. Learn more and access the full report: https://t.co/rYuLsxMpqv #EnoughIsEnough #mentalhealth

[Society for Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics @SDBPeds]

Nonetheless, perpetrators of violent acts may suffer mental distress from life events or by the symptoms of mental illness. They require detection and prevention. We advocate for expanded access to high quality mental health care. @NationalCouncil

[Society for Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics @SDBPeds]

Did you know: Most people who commit mass violence do not have a serious mental illness. People with serious mental illness are responsible for less than 4 percent of all violence and fewer than 1 in 3 acts of mass violence. ⁦@NationalCouncil⁩ https://t.co/gkUl3kiosy

Going shopping for back-to-school supplies this weekend? #Schoolreadiness is about more than just pre-academic skills or new clothes - physical well-being, socio-emotional abilities, and self-regulation are also important! https://t.co/aobdZPkZjY #IamDBP
