Survey shows 89% of parents use digital devices to calm children

A recent survey by Kaspersky reveals that 89% of parents use digital devices to calm their children, while 78% of kids say they can't live without them. Concerns arise as 22% of parents in the Middle East, Turkiye, and Africa have not discussed internet safety with their children. Experts warn that excessive screen time can harm children's mental and physical health. Unicef advises that children under three should not use digital devices. Parents are encouraged to set limits and monitor online activities to protect children from inappropriate content. Local authorities are urged to promote digital safety campaigns for parents. These initiatives should focus on responsible device use and be communicated in Urdu and regional languages to reach a wider audience.
