20-20-2 rule
Children's screen time has never been higher. They spend hours staring at screens every day, not only at school but also outside of school.
The 20-20-2 rule can be easily applied in these situations. It means that after 20 minutes of screen time (for example, on a mobile phone, laptop, or tablet), look into the distance for 20 seconds and spend 2 hours outside each day.
Spending enough time outdoors is important, especially for children. Their eyes are constantly shifting between different distances outdoors, and they're exposed to daylight. Time to get out and play!
