Helping parents reduce their children's screen time

[kxingstar]

It's hard yah...you can keep your kids away from phones or tablets for a few years but once they see their friends use phones or tablets, they'll want one for themselves too.

Yes that's an excellent point. Very often, peer pressure will outweigh parental influence.

But still, the guidelines are useful. Ideally, parents should try and limit screen time when their kids are as young as possible because it's much easier to do so than to reduce the kids' screen time when they're already used to spending hours on their phones. Speaking from personal experience *sigh*.
