we took two of the pupils at the conference to meet england's chief medical officer to talk about the new guidelines. how do you advise families to put these recommendations into use? not taking your phone or smart device to the meal table is not a bad thing, because then you've either got to talk about the food or something else. so it's a way of kind of improving interaction that helps development. no phones at bedtime and regular screen breaks are also part of the new advice. the boy was curious and bored and decided to create a social media account. he lied about his age, as he was only nine. however, he kept this a secret. ensuring that children don't lie about their age when they sign up for social media sites is essential, according to the chief medical officer. she wants to see the technology companies invest whatever is needed to bar those who are under 13. i don't accept that age verification isn't possible. it may require some investment in order to do it effectively,

but they have to come up with a proposal and they have to fund it. so what's the reaction to all these guidelines? i think it is necessary. however, it will be kind of difficult to enforce. i mean, unless you get the parents on board so that they are enforcing it within the household, it will be kind of a difficult thing to do. the report says the internet can do a lot of good for children when they are learning. the message is precautions taken now will minimise risks in future. hugh pym, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday.
