In the digital age, it is important for parents to correctly introduce children to tablet-based learning.
Dr. Sarah Tsui, a specialist in Paediatrics and visiting consultant of Humansa, helps us understand the potential downsides of excessive screen time for children and how it can negatively impact their vision, physical and language development, as well as sleeping quality and concentration. In this video, Dr. Tsui shares the following practical tips:
- Avoid as much screen time as possible for children aged below 2; while limiting screen time to less than an hour per day and take breaks in between for children aged 2 to 5.
- Accompany and guide your children in educational tablet activities.
- Ensure appropriate viewing distance and a good sitting posture.
- Spend quality family time with children as it is vital for children’s holistic development.
