4 Misconceptions About Digital Citizenship
“Research prescribes a specific number of screen hours for different age groups.”
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Lack of evidence had meant that experts have found it hard to recommend a cut-off for children’s screen time.
Parents and teachers should adjust their strategies with the age, interests and needs of their children, remembering that they need support and encouragement across the full age range, from infants to older teenagers.
What you can do?
Move beyond ‘screen-time’ as a basis for guidance and help parents and children recognise the difference between problematic, normal and beneficial use.
