Think tank addresses screen use in children

A think tank has proposed measures to tackle the increasing use of screens among young children and the potential negative impacts linked to this trend.

Early screen exposure is common

The think tank reported that by the age of 3 years, approximately one in ten children is already spending more than two hours per day on screens.

Proposals focus on reducing exposure

The outlined proposals aim to reduce the amount of time children spend on screens, particularly during early developmental years, to mitigate risks such as attention issues and delayed social skills.

Recommendations include parental guidance

Among the recommendations is the promotion of parental involvement and guidance in managing children's screen time, emphasizing quality over quantity in media consumption.
