Singapore has implemented new screen time guidelines focusing on children, advising no screen exposure for those under 18 months and limited educational viewing for ages 18 months to six years. For children 7-12, the recommendation is capped at two hours daily. These guidelines align closely with American Academy of Pediatrics’ suggestions and are based on research showing negative impacts of background screen time on young children's development. Preschools must adhere, while parents can choose how to implement these in their homes.
Both the AAP and Singapore's guidelines recommend limiting social media engagement and emphasize the importance of outdoor activities and sleep over screen time for children.
