Taiwan Enforces Child Protection Act Article 43: Mandating 30-Minute Continuous Screen Limits

Article 43 of Taiwan's Child and Youth Welfare and Rights Protection Act establishes a pioneering statutory standard classifying unrestricted electronic screen exposure as a matter of physical and psychological neglect. The statute completely prohibits screen exposure for infants under age 2.

For children and adolescents aged 2 to 18, the statutory code dictates that electronic device use must not exceed an 'unreasonable' duration, codified in clinical guidelines as a mandatory 10-minute eye and posture recess after every 30 minutes of continuous screen engagement.

Enforced by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the legislation specifically targets juvenile myopia prevention and neurodevelopmental balance, placing legal responsibility on parents to moderate daily device consumption under potential administrative fines.

For smartphone users seeking to structure their own app consumption into measured, sustainable sessions, Limitra App Block allows individuals to define independent daily usage time limits on chosen applications.
