UK Introduces National Guidance to Limit Children’s Screen Time

United Kingdom ne ab officially ek bada step liya hai children ke screen use ko control karne ke liye. Government ne national guidance release ki hai jiska main aim hai young children ke excessive screen exposure ko kam karna. Yeh move global level par badh rahi concerns ka part hai, jahan digital devices ka impact bachchon ke mental aur physical development par serious maana ja raha hai.

Reports ke mutabik, UK government ne parents ko advise kiya hai ki 2 saal se chhote bachchon ko screens se door rakha jaye, jab tak wo interactive ya shared use (jaise video call) na ho. Wahin 2 se 5 saal ke bachchon ke liye screen time ko 1 ghante tak limit karne ki salah di gayi hai. Yeh guidance is baat par focus karti hai ki early childhood me digital exposure ko balance karna bahut zaroori hai.

Screen Time Par Strict Rules Aur Recommendations

UK ki is guidance me sirf time limit hi nahi, balki usage pattern par bhi focus kiya gaya hai. Parents ko kaha gaya hai ki:

  • Screen ka use mealtime aur bedtime se pehle avoid karein
  • Fast-paced aur social media type content se bachchon ko door rakhein
  • Sirf slow-paced aur age-appropriate content dikhaya jaye
  • Bachchon ko akela screen use na karne de, balki co-viewing karein

Experts ka kehna hai ki jab bachche akela screen use karte hain, to wo un activities se door ho jate hain jo unke development ke liye zaroori hoti hain, jaise physical play, social interaction aur communication. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Global Concern: Sirf UK ka Issue Nahi

Yeh step sirf UK tak limited nahi hai. Duniya bhar ke kai countries jaise France, Denmark aur Netherlands bhi children ke online use par strict rules la rahe hain. Governments ka maanna hai ki excessive screen exposure se bachchon me mental health issues, cyberbullying risk aur harmful content exposure badh sakta hai. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Indonesia ne to ek kadam aur aage badhte hue kuch platforms par under-16 users ke liye restrictions bhi lagaye hain. Isse clear hota hai ki globally governments ab digital safety ko seriously le rahi hain.

Parents Ko Sabse Zyada Problem Kahan Ho Rahi Hai?

Data ke hisaab se UK me 98% 2-year-old bachche daily screens use karte hain, aur lagbhag 25% parents ko apne bachchon ka screen time control karne me difficulty hoti hai. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Isi wajah se government ne yeh guidance introduce ki hai, taaki parents ko clear direction mile. Prime Minister ne bhi kaha ki families ko “clear aur practical advice” ki zarurat hai, kyunki fast-changing technology ke beech parenting aur challenging hoti ja rahi hai.

Experts ka maanna hai ki zyada screen use bachchon ke sleep, language skills, aur social development par negative impact daal sakta hai. Isliye unhone recommend kiya hai ki parents bachchon ke saath time spend karein, reading, playing aur real-world activities ko promote karein.

Overall, UK ka yeh decision ek strong signal hai ki digital world me bachchon ki safety aur healthy development ko priority di ja rahi hai. Aane wale time me aur bhi strict policies dekhne ko mil sakti hain, especially social media aur AI-based content ke liye.
