What are the guidelines?
- Under 18 months: Avoid screen time altogether, except for video chatting with family.
-
Aged 18-24 months: If screens are introduced, it should be high-quality content watched with a caregiver to help the child understand what they are seeing.
-
Aged 2-5 years: Limit to one-hour per day of high-quality programming, with co-viewing whenever possible.
-
Aged 6-12 years: Set consistent limits on screen time to ensure it does not interfere with sleep, physical activity, or social interactions.
-
Teenagers: Encourage a balanced approach – screens should not replace sleep, exercise, or face-to-face socialisation.Source: American Paediatric Association
