Excessive screen time is one of the biggest challenges facing young children today and one of the most difficult conversations to have with parents. Whether you're seeing delays in speech and language, disrupted sleep patterns, difficulties with emotional regulation, or reduced physical activity, the evidence is clear: too much screen time is affecting children's development.

The free downloadable guides on this page are designed to help childminders, nursery practitioners and early years professionals start meaningful conversations with parents about reducing screen time for children under five. Each guide focuses on a specific area of development - from bonding and bedtime routines to eye health and active lifestyles - giving you the evidence and practical tips you need to support families effectively.

Please note: these resources are designed to be talked through with parents as part of a 121 conversation, rather than handed out on their own.
