UK Issues Screen-Time Limits For Young Children
Britain's government issues new guidance advising parents to limit screen time for children under five to no more than one hour daily and avoid screen time for under-twos except for shared interactive activities. The panel led by Dame Rachel de Souza and Professor Russell Viner warns that prolonged solo screen use harms sleep, play and language, recommending avoidance of fast-paced videos and AI-enabled toys to protect early development.
