Don't expose babies to electronic screens, says WHO
WHOによると、赤ちゃんを電子ディスプレイに晒すのはやめましょう。
Children under 12 months old should not be exposed to electronic screens at all, according to the World Health Organization. Parents were urged to ensure kids get enough exercise to encourage good habits later in life.
（抜粋）１２ヶ月未満の赤ちゃんには見せないようにして下さい。WHOによります。
Infants less than a year old should not be exposed to electronic screens, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday.
Issuing its first such guidelines, the United Nations health agency said that older children, aged two to four, should be limited to one hour per day sedentary screen time.
The guidelines also covered sleep and exercise. Among the findings were that:
Infants under one should interact in floor-based play — or "tummy time" — for at least an hour each day and avoid all screens.
Children between one and four should spend at least three hours in a variety of physical activities spread across the day, with no more than an hour of screen time.
Children shouldn’t be restrained in a pram or high chair, or strapped to someone's back, for more than an hour at a time.
The WHO said under-fives should be physically active and getting plenty of sleep, and that this would establish healthy habits through adolescence and into adulthood.
"Healthy physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep habits are established early in life, providing an opportunity to shape habits through childhood, adolescence and into adulthood," the WHO stated in the guidelines to member states.
Sedentary screen time includes watching television or videos, and playing computer games.
Being inactive is a "leading risk factor" for mortality, and is fueling a global rise in overweight and obesity, the agency said. Being excessively overweight can lead to diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes and some types of cancer.
In a report from 2017, the WHO said the number of obese children and adolescents globally had skyrocketed tenfold to 120 million inside the past 40 years. It added that the rise was accelerating in low- and middle-income nations, especially in Asia.
（超抜粋） １才未満では、少なくとも毎日１時間の床遊びとディスプレイは全く見せない。 １才から４才の間は、１日に３時間は体を動かすことと、ディスプレイは１時間以上はダメ。 ・・・（中略）・・・
体を動かさないことは体重増や肥満につながり、それが、高血圧や糖尿病、ある種のガンに結びつく恐れがあります。
２０１７年のWHOレポートによると、多くの肥満児や若者が、この４０年間で爆発的に増加しています。加えて、著しいのは中低所得国家で、特にアジア地域に見られます。（ 注： 原文を流し読みして下さい。）

これは、スクリーン（ディスプレイ）に没頭すると、体を動かすことが減って、様々な障害に繋がると言うことでしょう。 さらには、対人的な会話や対話に欠けることで、精神的にも不十分な人間になり得ると言うことではないでしょうか。
スマホなど、用途や使用方法などについて、再考が必要と感じます。
