The World Health Organisation, for the first time ever, last week laid out new guidlines for the amount of time children under 5 should spend on digital devices. According to the organisation, children under the age of 1 should have no screen time at all, while children under 5 should have no more than one hour a day. The guidelines are logical to some, completely unrealistic to others. So how are we raising children in the 21st century? And should adults be paying attention to what WHO has to say? Speaking to Sofija Petrovic is Dr. Joanne Orlando, digital literacy expert, educator and researcher.
