LONDON, March 27 (Reuters) - Britain has told parents to curb young children's screen time, advising no screens for under-2s and up to an hour a day for 2- to 5-year-olds because prolonged solo use can disrupt sleep and displace play and exercise.
Governments worldwide have been moving to tighten rules around children's online use, with countries including France, Denmark and the Netherlands pushing for new age-verification and safety requirements citing concerns about mental-health risks, cyberbullying and exposure to harmful content.
