This move reflects a broader global trend where governments are increasingly taking proactive measures to protect children from the harmful effects of excessive screen usage. The policy aims to guide parents in managing children\u2019s digital habits more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Guidelines_on_Screen_Time_for_Children\"><\/span><strong>Key Guidelines on Screen Time for Children<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new advisory provides clear recommendations for different age groups. Children under the age of two are advised to avoid screen exposure entirely, except for interactive activities like video calls. For children aged between two and five years, screen time should be limited to a maximum of one hour per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, parents are encouraged to avoid screen usage during meals and at least one hour before bedtime to ensure better sleep quality and healthier routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Focus_on_Content_Quality_and_Parental_Involvement\"><\/span><strong>Focus on Content Quality and Parental Involvement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guidelines emphasize not just the duration but also the quality of content consumed. Fast-paced, social media-style videos and AI-driven tools are discouraged as they may negatively impact attention span and cognitive development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts recommend co-viewing, where parents engage with children while watching content. This interactive approach helps improve language development and strengthens emotional bonding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_Risks_Linked_to_Excessive_Screen_Use\"><\/span><strong>Health Risks Linked to Excessive Screen Use<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excessive screen exposure has been linked to several developmental issues. It can disrupt sleep patterns, reduce physical activity, and hinder social and emotional growth. Studies indicate that prolonged screen use may replace real-world interactions, which are crucial during early childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, nearly 98% of children are exposed to screens by the age of two, highlighting the urgency of such interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_Movement_Toward_Digital_Regulation\"><\/span><strong>Global Movement Toward Digital Regulation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UK\u2019s decision is part of a wider global effort. Countries such as France, Denmark, and Netherlands are implementing stricter online safety regulations, including age verification systems and content restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, nations like Indonesia have gone further by restricting access to certain platforms for minors due to safety concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Governments_Role_in_Supporting_Parents\"><\/span><strong>Government\u2019s Role in Supporting Parents<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative also highlights the government\u2019s role in supporting families. Authorities acknowledged that parents often struggle to manage children\u2019s screen time amid rapidly evolving technology. The new guidelines aim to provide clear, practical advice to help families establish healthier habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div
