""Parents should lead by example, as children's brains are like sponges - they'll copy your screen use habits. Try to put your own phone away as much as possible.""
""Try to keep eating and sleeping free from digital distractions, for example: Meal times: Replace screens with background music, chats, drawing, or even a game of 'I Spy'.""
""Studies suggest it helps to slow the pace down to allow little children to engage in valuable interactions, whether it is going on a bus trip or just hanging out the washing.""
The Department of Education recommends limiting screen time for children under five to one hour per day. Many parents find this challenging due to their own screen habits and daily responsibilities. Screen time includes all digital devices, and nearly all children watch screens daily by age two. Parents are encouraged to model healthy screen habits, engage in non-digital activities during meals and bedtime, and treat young children as conversational partners to foster interaction and development.
