Understanding screen time
Children learn to talk and communicate best by spending time with others. Talking, playing, taking turns and listening to the sounds around them all help to develop language.
Children learn new words and sentences when adults talk to them about daily life. For example, naming things when cooking or talking about what you see on a walk. More screen time may mean less time for these everyday conversations.
Spending too much time in front of screens can affect children and young people in lots of ways, including: slower language development missing out on real life learning experiences poor attention and listening skills poor sleep
Screens can be fun and offer learning opportunities. But it's important to find a healthy balance with screen use, including: what you use them for when you use them who you use them with how long you use them for.
