Joanna Fortune: I'm worried my daughter's day seems to revolve around going on screens 

I don’t want to take away screens, but I’m worried it seems to be having such an impact on her

Young children’s developing brains do not have the self-regulation to resist the habit-forming designs of these apps and games, says Joanna. 

I’m worried about my 11-year-old daughter’s relationship with screens. She has access to a phone and tablet and we have parental controls on these. She also games on the PS5 and engages in online gaming with select friends. We’ve also set up controls on this. 

I’m not worried about the content she’s accessing per se, as it’s age appropriate and in line with what her classmates are doing. We limit screen time to an hour to 90 minutes per day.
