Sweden’s Public Health Agency is recommending that parents restrict how long children spend in front of digital screens to ensure a “better balance” between screen time and life experiences.

“Children under the age of 2 should not use digital media at all and older children should limit their use so that important parts of life are not crowded out,” the agency said in a Sept. 2 press release.
