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

[Emily Scott, MD IBCLC FAAP (she/her) @PedsDocScott]

@IND_AAP has secured funding for a @reachoutandread coordinator - so important in addressing early child development in Indiana! Welcome Madison! #AnnualRileyConference

[Emily Scott, MD IBCLC FAAP (she/her) @PedsDocScott]

Fascinating talk by @navsaria on the effects of screens and media on young developing brains. Limit media use to 1 hour a day in 2-5 year olds with no use in kids less than 18-24 mos. Parents should not feel pressured to introduce technology early. #AnnualRileyConference

[Megan S Mchenry @MeganS_Mchenry]

Another great talk by @navsaria at #AnnualRileyConference Screens aren’t all bad- but they can displace time from play, sleep, and meaningful interactions. Thoughtful, intentional use is important!
