Sweden recently issued recommendations advising against exposing children under the age of 2 to digital screens, including television. The guidelines suggest that toddlers should have no screen time, while children aged 2 to 5 are limited to one hour a day, and those aged 6 to 12 should not exceed two hours. Teenagers are advised to have no more than three hours of screen time daily.
Research has shown that high digital device usage among children can lead to negative effects such as poor sleep, depression, and limited physical activity. Similar recommendations have been made by countries like the United States, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and France.
