>Both CD&V and Vooruit are calling for limits on screen use among young people. CD&V chairman Sammy Mahdi bases this on the results of a French study and advocates a similar study with us. Former Vooruit chairman Conner Rousseau advocates limiting social media use among young people.
>In their study , the French scientists recommend banning screen time for children up to the age of 3. From the age of 6, children are allowed to watch television or a screen, but only under supervision. **Young people under the age of 11 should not use mobile phones. From the age of 13, a smartphone is possible without social media. That would only be possible from the age of 15.**
Since years there is scientific evidence that screens and social media are not healthy for children, and every year there is more excessive use.
It is not sensible at all to see so many kids under 12 with smartphones/social media and it seems that parents are not able to control it.
I feel we shouldn’t hold back technology for kids. But schools should focus more on IT to give actual interesting classes. Nobody cares about word and excel. Give kids basics in coding or digital art.
It’s the future. Kids won’t be stuck digging at iron and bauxite. Let them create the machines that will do it for them.
Imagine society if people were inherently tech-savvy.
Plea for limiting CD&V votes at the voting booth.
