FOSI数字时代家长指南（八）：管理屏幕时间

近期，FOSI(国际家庭在线安全协会, Family Online Safety Institute)发布了成为优秀的数字时代家长的十大指南。

FOSI成立于2007年，是一个致力于推广在线责任文化，加强网上青少年保护的国际性非盈利组织。腾讯于2018年成为FOSI会员，是第一家加入网上青少年保护“国际俱乐部”的中国企业。腾讯研究院第一时间翻译了十大指南，并将在近期于腾讯研究院公众号上发布，此为系列第八篇《管理屏幕时间 Managing Screen Time 》。

管理屏幕时间

监测屏幕时间和屏幕内容有重大差异。父母可能会担心孩子整夜观看YouTube视频或玩社交媒体，但他们却不太担心孩子与奶奶视频聊天。许多场景都会涉及屏幕，但在创造力、沟通、教育价值方面存在很大差异。

There are important differences between monitoring screen time and content. While parents may be concerned about kids being watching YouTube or being on social media all night, they are less likely to worry about a device used for video chatting with grandma. Many scenarios involve screens, but also differ greatly in terms of creativity, communication, or educational value.

美国儿科学会建议 

Recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics      

每个家庭都是独一无二的，屏幕时间的最佳确定方法可能取决于家庭中孩子的不同年龄和需求。虽然您孩子使用设备的时间可能比指南所言更多或更少，但美国儿科学会建议：

Each family is unique, and the best approach to screen time may depend on the different ages and needs of children in the household. While it may be appropriate for your child to use their devices more or less than these guidelines, the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests:

0至18个月 - 除视频聊天外，不要使用屏幕。

0 to 18 months - Refrain from the use of screens unless for video chatting.

18至24个月 - 家长可以介绍高质量的节目，并与孩子一起观看，以帮助解释他们正在观看的内容。

18 to 24 months - Parents can introduce high-quality programming and co-view it with their children to help explain what they are viewing.

2至5岁 - 将屏幕时间限制为每天1小时的高质量节目。通过共同观看，父母可以帮助孩子将他们看到的内容应用到现实世界。

2 to 5 years - Limit screen time to 1 hour per day of high-quality programming. Using co-viewing, parents can help their child apply what they are viewing to the world they live in.

6岁以上 - 对屏幕时间和社交媒体类型设置一致的限制。确保社交媒体不会干扰睡眠、身体活动和其他基本行为。

6+ - Set consistent limits on screen time and the types of media being viewed. Ensure that media does not interfere with sleep, physical activity, and other essential behaviors.
