Sweden cuts phone use: Stockholm syndrome falls flat on kids' screen time
Ringing
Attention parents with toddlers and “screenagers”. Sweden’s public health agency, Folkhälsomyndigheten, has said babies should not be allowed to watch screens at all while teenagers should have no more than three hours of screen time a day.
The figures represent a sharp cutback on the current average screen time restrictions in Sweden. The suggestion is to cap daily screen use in the two-to-five age group to a maximum of one hour, children between six and 12 should not have more than two hours and then till age 18, it’s three hours. The current usage in Sweden is four hours a day for the 9-to-12 age group and more than seven hours a day (minus homework) for 17/18-year-olds.
