"For too long, smartphones and other screens have been allowed to enter every aspect of our children's lives," announced the country's Public Health Minister Jakob Forssmed. This sentiment underscores the growing concern over excessive screen time and its consequences on youth development.
The country's Public Health Agency specifically recommended that children under 2 be forbidden from using the devices, emphasizing that too much screen exposure can lead to poor sleep, mental health issues and other problems.
Teens between 13 and 18 years old shouldn't be on screens for more than three hours a day, mirroring a broader strategy to combat the escalating issue of digital addiction among younger demographics.
The state institution cautioned teens against using devices before bed, adding that gadgets should be kept out of the bedroom at night, aiming to promote better sleep patterns among the youth.
