The use of screens and digital devices is a daily preoccupation for families. Digital devices offer a window onto the world and facilitate everyday life. But they can also entail risks and damage your child’s development if they are used in an excessive and inconsiderate way. The Ministry of Education, Children and Youth will support you to strike a good balance between the digital world and the real world for your child.
In this parental letter, you will therefore find recommendations per age group for a safe and responsible use of the digital environment. This advice is provided as a guide and is inspired by the work of Doctor Serge Tisseron, a French psychiatrist and psychologist, author of the publication 3-6-9-12+ Apprivoiser les écrans et grandir (3-6-9-12+ Benchmarks, Taming Screens and Growing up). You can of course adapt this advice to your child’s individualsensitivities and needs.
