There's a fine line
It's a battle every parent has in the modern age, but finally it has been revealed just how much screen-time children should be exposed to.
“Children aged two to five should have a maximum of one hour a day, and children aged five and above should have no more than two hours a day. This excludes the amount of time needed for school work. And be aware of how much time adults in the household spend on their phones too, as this can give your child mixed messages.”
However, Jennifer says that denying children access to technology is unrealistic, as they need to learn to use devices for the modern world and stricter rules should be in place instead. She added: “These boundaries should be consistent but flexible enough so that a child who occasionally asks for a bit more time to finish a game should be allowed that.
“There are social benefits to playing some games, such as when one forms a team. Others help stimulate creativity and development of problem-solving skills. However, certain games can glorify violence and children can be exposed to harmful chats.
