In Parliament, I raised questions about how we can better support parents in managing childrenโs screen time, an increasingly common challenge in todayโs digital world. As part of the Grow Well SG initiative, the Ministry of Health has introduced comprehensive guidelines on healthy digital habits for children. This initiative focuses on improving our children's physical and mental well-being by providing evidence-based recommendations. While these are a great starting point, I highlighted the need for tailored support systems to help parents from diverse backgrounds overcome challenges and ensure these guidelines remain relevant as digital habits evolve.
As a parent myself, I understand the struggles that many in Yio Chu Kang and across Singapore face when it comes to managing screen time. Whether itโs during mealtimes or while trying to encourage outdoor activities, finding the right balance can be tough. Thatโs why I pushed for more practical, step-by-step resources under the Grow Well SG framework to empower parents in their daily routines. Iโm glad to hear that the Ministry is committed to enhancing support, including online resources and collaboration with key agencies, to make this journey easier for families.
Letโs work together as a community to raise healthy, resilient children in this digital age.
