The UK government says children under five should have one hour of screen time a day. Children under two should not watch screens alone. Parents are encouraged to do "screen swaps" like reading or playing games together instead.

Watching screens with an adult is better for children's development than watching alone. Fast-paced videos can affect children's sleep and activity. The guidance aims to help parents without being judgmental.

Families like the Montastiers find reducing screen time challenging but are trying to make changes. The guidance suggests avoiding AI toys and fast content. It's important to engage with children during screen time for better learning.
