Toddlers should spend no more than 60 minutes passively watching a screen every day, while babies under 12 months should have none, to ensure that they grow up fit and well, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday, as part of a campaign to tackle the global obesity crisis. The guidelines refer to passive activities such as watching cartoons, for example, as opposed to going online to talk to a grandparent.
In addition to screen time recommendations for very young children the UN health agency says that they should be physically active several times a day and get lots of sleep.
Children aged *one to four years old should be active for at least 180 minutes throughout the day,* WHO says, citing walking, crawling, running, jumping, balancing, climbing, dancing, riding wheeled toys, cycling and jumping rope as suitable pastimes. For *three to four-year-olds, moreover, 60 minutes of this activity* should be of “moderate-to-vigorous intensity”… (WHO, April 24, 2019).
