UK joins global push to rein in children's screen use with national guidance

Britain's advice on the use of tablets, televisions, laptops and smartphones, published on Thursday, marks the government's most explicit ​intervention yet on early-years digital habits, after it ⁠said parents had ‌been left to "battle" devices alone. A quarter ​of parents in Britain of 3- to 5-year-olds have said ⁠they had struggled to control screen time, while 98% ​of 2-year-olds use screens daily, according to government figures.
