In today’s digital world, screen time is a normal part of children’s lives, but too much of it can negatively affect their health, development, and wellbeing.
Australian guidelines recommend no screen time for children under 2, no more than 1 hour per day for 2–5 year-olds, and a maximum of 2 hours per day for children aged 5–17. However, most children exceed these limits.
Research shows that excessive screen use can impact sleep, weight, behaviour, and learning, especially in younger children.

Supporting children to develop healthy screen habits now sets them up for a balanced future.
