Opinion
Personally, i believe that Singapore teenagers should not spend more than four hours in front of a screen daily. this includes to not watch the hand phone screen for more than two to three hours continuously. Parents have a great role to play in ensuring that their child is staying healthy in stead of being a coach potato. parents should also know when to confiscate a phone when the child is too engross on the phone.
