The government is currently developing new guidance on screen time for children aged 0–5 - and I want it to be genuinely useful for families, not a list of rules that feel out of touch with everyday life and the juggle that is being a parent!
So if you're the parent of a child aged 0–5, or you've recently been through those early years, we'd love to know: what would actually help you? Maybe you've found ways to make screen time work positively in your family, or you've had moments of doubt about whether you're getting the balance right. Perhaps there's something you wish someone had told you earlier - or advice you've been given that felt more judgmental than helpful.
Whatever your experience, I want parents to help shape this guidance so it reflects how families really live - and gives you something practical you can actually use.
The guidance, once published, will be available on the government's Best Start in Life website, which brings together trusted support for parents at every stage of the early years.
