Schools, nurseries, and colleges in London have called for families to cut down screen time for both parents and children due to concerns about excessive technology use. A letter from 21 heads in Southwark outlines recommendations to limit screen exposure for children up to age 16. The initiative aims to mitigate the negative effects on communication skills and promote healthier engagement. School leaders emphasize that this is not a critique of modern parenting but rather a necessary step for children's developmental well-being, advocating for active parent participation during school drop-offs.
A coalition of 21 heads in Southwark sent guidelines urging families to limit screen time for children and themselves, addressing concerns over technology's negative impact.
Head teachers expressed that their message delineates a supportive clarification rather than an attack on modern parenting, emphasizing the need to address excessive screen time.
