00:05following the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Newcastle Hospital's NHS Foundation Trust
00:12website, children should spend no more than two hours per day on screens. However, research
00:18shows that many children exceed this limit. Experts suggest parents should encourage breaks
00:25and set clear rules for device use. Local authorities have started offering resources
00:31for families. Newcastle City Council website recommends that if you do become worried about
