News & Reviews:   screen time

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is intensifying efforts to promote the use of parental control tools as part of its broader Safe Internet Campaign, aimed at encouraging safer digital habits among Malaysian families. The initiative reflects growing concerns over children’s exposure to harmful online content, cyber threats, and excessive screen time as internet usage among younger users continues to rise nationwide.

In case you missed it, we wrote an article about "What Can We Do About Children Having Too Much Screen Time". It seems that TikTok will be taking action as well, as the company recently made an announcement of allowing parents to limit the screen time on the app.

Nowadays, it's not uncommon to see children and toddlers just staring at their devices at a restaurant, cafe or any eateries. Many would silently judge the parents for allowing this to happen, as it is regarded as a negative notion. At the same time, it's also not easy being a parent and sometimes, using this method is the easy way out to keep their sanity.
