An expert report was submitted to Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday April 30 on ways to protect children from screens. It recommends in particular preventing any use of screens for children under 3 years old, and strongly limiting them between 3 and 6 years old.
Many schools offer their students the challenge of spending ten days without a screen, particularly in Bordeaux (Gironde). The goal is to teach them how to spend their free time differently. An expert report submitted to the President of the Republic on Tuesday April 30 recommends radical measures: preventing all use of screens for children under 3 years old, and strongly limiting them between 3 and 6 years old.
Social networks accessible from 15 years old
Another recommendation from experts: wait 11 years for a cell phone, but without Internet access. From the age of 13, smartphones would be accepted, but without social networks. It is only from the age of 15 that social networks would be accessible, but under the vigilance of parents. Should we limit the use of screens among children? The French remain divided. The government must now rule on this use of screens among children, which has become a social phenomenon.
