Breakfast Bites: Screen Time Wars - Why being too strict might backfire
Published on 6 Apr 2026
How much screen time is too much... and are we getting it wrong? Kids are now limited as much as possible with screen time, but do we adults practice what we preach?
The Breakfast Show unpacks why strict limits might actually make screens more addictive, what the famous M&M experiment reveals about behaviour, and how Singapore parents can help kids build healthier digital habits instead of just enforcing rules.
