Kennedy issued a U-S Surgeon General’s Warning that excessive screen use has become one of the most urgent public health challenges facing children today.

It says tablets and computers may be used for no more than an hour in early elementary classrooms, plus those young students must get an average of 40 minutes of physical activity each school day.
