PHONE IN: DIGITAL DEVICES
The UK Government鈥檚 new social mobility commissioner has told MPs she wants to launch a nationwide campaign telling parents not to give their toddlers a mobile phone to play with. Katharine Birbalsingh said 鈥淚 would like national campaigns on things like phones and not giving them to your toddler. I would love it if we could get to a point where [the issue is considered] in the same way that we know that you should eat four or five fruit vegetables in a day, or drink eight glasses of water a day.鈥
Stephen asks: Are we too quick to give children tablets and phones to keep them entertained?
