Screen Time Guidence

We know that screens are part of everyday life for many families, but finidng the right balance for young children can sometimes feel tricky. New Government guidence offers helpful advice for parents of under 5's, focusing on simple ways to build healthy habits from an early age. 

It reccomends that children aged 2 and under avoid screen use, with some shared experiences as exceptions, while children aged 2-5 should have no more than one hour a day. Just as importantly, it encourages families to enjoy screen free moments together - like mealtimes, bedtime routines and play; supporting children's development, sleep, and wellbeing in a natural postivie way.
