Vietnam's Ministry of Health is advising parents to strictly limit screen time for young children. The ministry recommends no screen entertainment—including television and smartphones—for children aged one year and under. For children between the ages of two and five, daily screen exposure should be capped at a maximum of one hour, with less being preferable. These guidelines aim to protect children’s development and well-being, as excessive screen time can have negative impacts. The Ministry emphasizes prioritizing other activities for young children to promote healthy growth. The recommendations are part of a broader effort to address rising concerns about the effects of digital media on early childhood. Parents are urged to follow these guidelines to ensure optimal development for their children.
