Parents often allow mobile phones to ‘distract’ themselves from their children and should impose screen time limits on themselves, the Education Secretary has said.
Damian Hinds told the Daily Telegraph that parents should not to allow the use of digital devices such as smartphones and tablets to take priority over spending quality time with their children.
He said it was often easier to enforce screen time limits on children, but it was more difficult for parents to reduce their device usage, criticising prams that come with mobile phone holders.
Education Secretary Damian Hinds wrote in the Daily Telegraph that mobile phones are getting in the way of family relationships
‘Today we see prams with mobile phone holders attached. You can go to a café and see Mum, Dad and children all on their phones, not talking to each other,’ he wrote in The Daily Telegraph.
‘The truth is we can be too busy finding out what’s going on miles away to pay attention to the people right in front of us.’
He admitted to getting distracted by his phone when spending time with his family, revealing he had cut down on his screen time over Christmas.
‘The precious time I put aside to eat with my family, or play with my kids, too often my phone is also there with us and is a distraction.
‘Over Christmas, when I put the phone away, I really noticed the difference’, he said.
He argued that it is often easier to enforce screen time limits on children, but it is more difficult for parents to reduce their device usage
While acknowledging technology could be beneficial for children if used for educational games, he warned against allowing them to access the ‘junk food’ of the internet.
‘Instead of accessing the nourishing content, kids will choose to access the “junk food” of the internet world – and the more time they spend glued to latest game on their phone, then the less likely they are to be getting outside for fresh air and exercise.’
Mr Hind’s comments come after the Department of Education last week published a checklist of wholesome pursuits primary school children should try over spending hours on their devices.
Examples included climbing a tree, planting flowers or flying a kite.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
