Children Screen Time Rockets

BATH, UNITED KINGDOM - SEPTEMBER 28: A 13-year-old boy face is illuminated as he looks at a iPhone screen as he lies on a sofa on September 28, 2024 in Bath, England. The amount of time children spend on screens each day rocketed during the Covid pandemic by more than 50 per cent, the equivalent of an extra hour and twenty minutes. Researchers say that unmoderated screen time can have long-lasting effects on a child's mental and physical health. Recently TikTok announced that every account belonging to a user below age 18 have a 60-minute daily screen time limit automatically set. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
