Nowadays, even the youngest children can use smartphones and tablets. Some parents worry their child spends too much time in front of the screens and/or feel completely overwhelmed by the rapidly changing world of digital media.

For parents many questions arise in this context: When should my child have its own smartphone? Do televisions or game consoles belong in the child's room? How much time should my child spend in front of screens?
Should my child use them independently? Etc.

Serge Tisseron, French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, published his book "Grandir avec les écrans - La règle 3-6-9-12" (Growing up with screens - The rule 3-6-9-12) in 2013. This rule, which is still up to date, sets out an approach over a period of almost 10 years (from 3 years to 12 years) that shows how screens can be used positively by families. BEE SECURE summarized it all on a poster.
