Hello,

How early is too early for screen time?

Just as countries around the world are tightening rules on children’s digital lives, with some considering a social media ban for kids under 16, a new study is turning the spotlight to an even younger age group.

Researchers warn that regular screen time for babies and toddlers under two could have lasting effects on their development, sleep, language skills, and parent-child bonding.

They argue that while the debate has largely focused on teenagers, infants have become the ‘baby blind spot’ in the digital conversation, and parents need clearer guidance in a world where screens are increasingly part of everyday life.
