FOSI數字時代家長指南（八）：管理螢幕時間

近期，FOSI(國際家庭在線安全協會, Family Online Safety Institute)發布了成為優秀的數字時代家長的十大指南。

FOSI成立於2007年，是一個致力於推廣在線責任文化，加強網上青少年保護的國際性非盈利組織。騰訊於2018年成為FOSI會員，是第一家加入網上青少年保護“國際俱樂部”的中國企業。騰訊研究院第一時間翻譯了十大指南，並將在近期於騰訊研究院公眾號上發布，此為系列第八篇《管理螢幕時間Managing Screen Time》。

管理螢幕時間

監測螢幕時間和螢幕內容有重大差異。父母可能會擔心孩子整夜觀看YouTube視頻或玩社交媒體，但他們卻不太擔心孩子與奶奶視頻聊天。許多場景都會涉及螢幕，但在創造力、溝通、教育價值方面存在很大差異。

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.

美國兒科學會建議

Recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics

每個家庭都是獨一無二的，螢幕時間的最佳確定方法可能取決於家庭中孩子的不同年齡和需求。雖然您孩子使用設備的時間可能比指南所言更多或更少，但美國兒科學會建議：

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個月- 除視頻聊天外，不要使用螢幕。

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

18至24個月- 家長可以介紹高質量的節目，並與孩子一起觀看，以幫助解釋他們正在觀看的內容。

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歲- 將螢幕時間限制為每天1小時的高質量節目。通過共同觀看，父母可以幫助孩子將他們看到的內容應用到現實世界。

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歲以上- 對螢幕時間和社交媒體類型設置一致的限制。確保社交媒體不會干擾睡眠、身體活動和其他基本行為。

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.

“螢幕時間多長？”是一個廣受討論的、有許多不同答案的問題。在某個家庭效果良好的方法也許對另一個家庭並不奏效，所以一定要花時間建立適合自身家庭的螢幕平衡。

“How much screen time?” is a popular question with many different answers. What works well for one family might not work for another, so be sure to spend proper time establishing the right screen balance for your use.
