Design a Consistent Approach to Screen Time for Under-Twos

You know the guidance says barely any screens before two, and you also know what actually happens at 5pm when dinner needs cooking. This sorts what the evidence really says from the scare headlines, then builds a screen policy your family can hold to. You give it your child's age and current habits; you get a plan you'll actually follow.

<context>
Your child is aged {CHILD_AGE_MONTHS} months. You want to establish a consistent, evidence-based approach to screen time that fits with WHO and NHS guidelines while being realistic for your family. Your current screen exposure level: [describe current situation].
</context>

<task>
**Build a family screen time policy for under-twos** that:
1. Summarises what the evidence actually says about screens at this age (not moral panic)
2. Sets clear daily limits with context-specific exceptions (e.g. video calls with grandparents)
3. Identifies the highest-risk screen uses to avoid vs lower-risk uses
4. Provides a practical alternative activity list for when screens are tempting
5. Includes a forgiving reset clause for days when the policy breaks down

<output_format>
- Evidence summary (3-4 sentences, plain language)
- Policy table: Context | Allowed | Time limit | Conditions
- Alternative activities list (8-10 bullets)
- Reset clause as a single sentence in italics
