09:16 Min

Many parents may face challenges in meeting the updated guidelines on screen use under the Grow Well SG personalised health plan initiative for children. But there are tips and best practices available on platforms such as the Parent Hub website, Digital For Life portal and Families For Life parenting programmes, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung. Parents should also leverage various support groups to share practices and “compare less about how much tuition they have for their children”, he said. Instead, they should “compare more” about parenting tips and how to wean their children off excessive device use, he said in reply to an MP’s questions in Parliament on Wednesday (Feb 5). He stressed the need for parents to focus on preventive care and follow up on their children’s health plans.
