Guiding Your Child’s First Screen Experience

In today’s digital world, children are introduced to screens from an increasingly young age.

As parents, your guidance plays an important role in shaping healthy digital habits from the start.

At Skool4Kidz, we believe children learn best through play, interaction and real-life experiences. Screen use is introduced thoughtfully and purposefully, supporting learning without replacing meaningful human connection.

Here’s a simple guide to help you decide how much screen time is suitable for your child:

• No screen use for children under 18 months
• Less than 1 hour a day for children aged 1.5 – 6 years
• Less than 2 hours a day for children aged 7 – 12 years
