Argentina and Spain urge responsible digital upbringing for children

In Rosario, Argentina, specialists, parents and teachers gathered to discuss how digital technologies shape the lives of children and adolescents. They argued that the challenge is not to ban screens but to adopt a concept of “digital childhood” that provides clear limits, ongoing dialogue and adult guidance. Recommendations included setting screen‑time schedules, creating screen‑free zones such as meals and bedtime, and teaching digital literacy that covers data privacy and critical evaluation of online content.

In Cee, Spain, families and educators met to reflect on responsible technology use from early ages. Participants highlighted the need for education on safe online behavior, the cognitive and emotional impacts of excessive screen use, and the importance of establishing clear boundaries at home and school. They also stressed cyber‑security awareness and a commitment to continuous training for both parents and teachers.
