Monitoring screen time and the content your child consumes Lockdown restrictions have eased up a little however the fact that our children are still spending a lot of time at home has not changed and what that generally means is that children are consuming more content on TV, their phones, computers, etc. Studies have shown that too much screen time can have a lot of negative effects on your child. Riana Botes, Assistant Manager at the Film and Publications Board of South Africa joins us on this week’s edition of #TheSitDownParenting to give us screen time recommendations according to different ages that we as parents need to be mindful of. We also unpack age restrictions and why they are crucial to observe.
