Recommendation 11
11
Paragraph: 56
Revise advice for parents on screen time risks and commission healthy device use guidance.
Recommendation
Advice to parents of babies and young children should be revised to ensure it gives sufficient attention to face to face interaction and warns of the risks of screen time in reducing opportunities for this. Adults should be encouraged to minimise use of devices where possible when supervising young children at a formative age and the Department for Education should commission advice for parents through family hubs and children’s centres on the healthy use of devices.
