Your child may be smiling at the screen, but what is the screen doing to them?

Excessive screen time can lead to:
Poor sleep, eye strain, headaches, anxiety, mood changes, and less interaction with others.

Let's balance screen time with play time, family time, and rest time.

Your child is online. But are they safe?

Children face risks like harmful content, cyberbullying, addictive games, and interactions with strangers.

We call on parents & guardians to stay involved, stay informed.

A safer digital future starts with us.

The Uganda Communications Commission plays a vital role in linking Child Online Protection to children's mental health in Uganda by promoting emotional well-being through healthy digital habits and responsible internet use.

When children are safe online, they are healthier offline. Let's build a safer digital space for every child.
