1. The AAP discourages media use by children younger than two years. 2. The AAP realizes that media exposure is a reality for many families in today’s society. If parents choose to engage their young children with
electronic media, they should have concrete strategies to manage it. Ideally, parents should review the content of what their child is watching and watch the program with their child. 3. Parents are discouraged from placing a television set in their child’s bedroom. 4. Parents need to realize that their own media use can have a negative effect on their children. Watching TV programs that are intended for adults while young children are in the room proves distracting for both the parent and the child. 5. Unstructured playtime is more valuable for the developing brain than any electronic media exposure. If a parent is not able to actively play with a child, that child should have solo playtime with an adult nearby. Even for infants as young as four months of age, solo play allows a child to think creatively, problem-solve, and accomplish tasks with minimal parent interaction. The parent can also learn something in the process of giving the child an opportunity to entertain him or herself while remaining nearby.

Electronic media cannot be escaped. It surrounds us, from 24-hour children’s programming channels to computers and from smartphones to the iPad. Today’s parents are marketed DVDs and apps promising to prepare their children for school and enhance their mental development. Don’t be fooled by this hype. Research has consistently shown that early brain development and appropriate social, emotional, and cognitive skill development in babies and toddlers is best supported by direct interactions with parents and other significant caregivers. The latest policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) provides recommendations concerning media use by children who are under two years old. The AAP noted that children do best when interacting with peers or responsive adults. Electronic media seems to wind up children, and it appears that children don’t sleep as well when they watch TV before bed. Sound restful sleep also ensures that your child will be ready to
engage in productive play. Heavy television watchers may be at risk for language delays and obesity. The recommendations also point out that unstructured “unplugged” playtime is critical to developing creativity, problem-solving, and reasoning skills. Try to limit your young child’s exposure to electronics as much as possible. The AAP discourages all media use by children younger than two years of age, and recommends that schoolaged children’s total media time be limited to no more than one to two hours per day. In addition, when children are watching electronic media, parents should try to make it interactive. Sit with your child, sing along with the songs and ask questions to encourage communication. Below are all the recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement:

Obtaining your Sojourner Permit Italian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy, other than an active-duty member under military orders, to obtain a Sojourner Permit within eight days of arrival in Italy. This is different from a visa, which is merely an approval for entry into the country. All applicants over 14 years of age must apply in person, as each person's signature is required at the time of application. NATIONALS OF ANY STATE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COMING TO ITALY DO NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA OR SOJOURNER PERMIT. As part of the Area Orientation process, the U.S. Region Legal Service Office (RLSO EURAFSWA) assists in the preparation and oversees the acquisition of the Sojourner Permit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navy commands in the Naples area. Army and Air Force personnel stationed at JFC must apply through the Carabiniere at the JFC Provost Marshall's Office, Building L. Contact Connie Henderson, RLSO EURAFSWA liaison advisor, at 081-5684639 for more information.
In the event of an emergency or to report a crime, please call the Emergency Dispatch Center at 081-568-4911 or 5911. (On-Base Dial 9-1-1) For non-emergency assistance, call 081-568-5638.
