Singapore has issued new guidelines encouraging parents to increase direct interaction with their children to counteract the potential negative effects of excessive screen time. The recommendations, shared by Stomper, emphasize the importance of quality time between parents and children for language development and social skills. The guidelines suggest that limiting screen time should not be the only solution, but rather that parents should actively engage with their children through conversation and play. This approach is seen as more effective in fostering emotional bonds and cognitive growth in young children. The advice aligns with growing concerns about the impact of digital media on early childhood development. (stomp.Sg)
