The WHO issued guidelines around screen time for young kids. By Rachel Siegel Rachel Siegel National business reporter Email Bio Follow April 24 at 10:05 AM Infants younger than 1 shouldn’t be exposed to any electronic screens, according to guidelines issued Wednesday by the World Health Organization.
The agency, issuing its first such guidelines, also said that children 2 to 4 should have no more than one hour of “sedentary screen time” — including playing computer games or watching TV — per day. It also emphasized that this young kids need to be physically active and get enough sleep, habits that go along way in preventing obesity and other diseases later in life, the WHO said.
“Achieving health for all means doing what is best for health right from the beginning of people’s lives,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement. “Early childhood is a period of rapid development and a time when family lifestyle patterns can be adapted to boost health gains.”Babies should not be exposed to screens at all and instead engage in interactive floor-based play, the WHO said.

That will be like going cold turkey, after 9 months of shared viewing.
We didn’t let my daughter use electronics until she was 4 or 5

Technology also has good bad, good technology to serve people, bad technology harms human beings
Who are 1 year olds tweeting?
It is not screen, but rather electronic devices that present the problem. Children need human interaction to become sociable members of the society, and not virtual zombies who have only Facebook friends.
But then how will the media brainwash them? 🤔
Shouldnt be subjected to abortion tools either
Particularly, one-sided electronic screens that purport to be merit based.
Quick question: does that include porn?
For me... under 12
I'd say: younger than 7!
Naive of the researchers to say that 'we need to bring back play to children'. Of course we should, but it isn't going to happen, at least not with those parents who find it most important to occupy the children in such a way that the parents get disturbed as little as possible.
When i sit my phone near my balls, it’s hurts. I don’t think any of us should be exposed to electronic screens
That’s why the world is becoming extinct. Generations have been exposed to the TV from birth. Climate change is a consequence of this exposure!
