UK Gov: Limit Kids' Screen Time, Ban Social Media for Under-16s

Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

The UK government unveils new screen time guidelines for children under five, urging parents to limit daily screen use to one hour or less for ages two to five, and avoid screens entirely for those under two, except for shared interactive moments. The advice, backed by a panel led by Childrens Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza and health expert Professor Russell Viner, emphasizes the importance of sleep, exercise, creative play, and parent-child bonds for early development. The government also considers Australia-style rules to restrict or ban social media for those under sixteen, with a pilot program set to launch.
