The United Kingdom introduced strict screen-time guidelines for young children to address concerns about excessive digital exposure. The advisory recommends no screen use for children under two years and limits screen time to one hour per day for children aged two to five. It also suggests avoiding screens during meals and before bedtime to ensure better sleep and development. This move is part of a broader global trend where governments are taking steps to safeguard children’s well-being, as excessive screen time has been linked to sleep disruption, reduced physical activity, and challenges in social and cognitive development.
