In Sweden, children under the age of two are banned from using screens. So now kids can't use the screen. The advisory issued by the government specifies that children should not be allowed to use any screen including TV and mobile phones.
According to Swedish government advice, two- to five-year-olds can use screens for a maximum of one hour a day, while children aged six to 12 can only use screens for two hours. The advisory states that teenagers should be allowed only three hours of screen time a day.
Effects of screen use on sleep
The Swedish government has issued this advisory at a time when several research centers have found that excessive screen use is affecting the sleep of children and teenagers. Cases of depression are on the rise and physical activity levels are also steadily declining. Which is not good for health. Which directly affects the health of children.
Screen use is not allowed in France
Countries like America, Ireland, Canada, Australia and France have issued such advisory for children. Among them, the French government has issued the most stringent advisory. In France it was said that children under the age of three should not be allowed to use screens at all.
Keeping children away from screens is very important
Just a few days ago, the Swedish government released a new advisory for children up to 18 years of screen time. In which parents were clearly told that children should not be allowed to watch screens. The health agency said it is very important to keep children under the age of two completely away from digital media and television. According to Health Minister Jacob Forsmead, children are not getting enough sleep due to hours of staring at screens. In such a situation it is very important to maintain a distance from the screen.
