Croatia Tackles Children's Excessive Screen Time: A New Priority Emerges

Croatia Joins EU in Addressing Children's Excessive Internet Use Zagreb, Croatia – A recent report highlights a growing concern among Croatian parents regarding their children's excessive internet usage. According to a new study, 3.7% of parents admit their children spend more than six hours a day online. This figure surpasses the European Union average of approximately four hours. The video report from DNEVNIK.hr features an interview with Borzan, who emphasizes the need for new priorities in addressing this issue. "We need to find ways to limit children's access to the internet," Borzan stated, "to protect them from potential harm and promote a healthy balance between online and offline activities." The report underscores the importance of parental controls and responsible internet usage among children. It also calls for further research and initiatives to help parents effectively manage their children's online time and exposure to potentially harmful content. The government is exploring various options, including educational campaigns and technological solutions, to assist parents in this endeavor. This initiative reflects a growing EU-wide effort to address the challenges of excessive screen time and its impact on children's well-being.
