There are so many benefits too – facetiming family, researching and learning, learning other languages, looking up recipes, using Alexa, a Yoto or a Tonie! digital media and screen time can be a positive, supporting creativity and contact and communication and helping with daily tasks and it forms a huge part of “life admin” and work life.

Access to sites un supervised is risky and screen time before bed can disrupt sleep – with many children even aged 2 having their own tablets good habits early on are key.
