New Zealand parents are becoming more relaxed about device use and safety.  

A survey by NIB has found device use and screentime is still a concern for 73% of surveyed parents, but only 46% are limiting screentime.  

That's down from 51% in 2021. 

Parenting expert Anna Martin told Kate Hawkesby that the pandemic has had an impact.  

She says research suggests that parents relaxed their attitude to online use during Covid, as it was helpful in allowing them to have some personal time.
