Many parents are concerned that smartphones, computers and consoles can harm their children and cause technology addiction. They often ask themselves how many minutes or hours of digital media use are appropriate each day. The “SCHAU HIN!” Initiative by the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth together with ARD and ZDF recommends the following: Children five years old or younger can use up to half an hour of screen time per day and children from ages six to nine up to one hour. For older children, starting at age ten, ten minutes of media time per year of life a day or one hour per year of life every week is recommended.
