Summary
Internet consumption in Latvia rose 230% during holiday periods, highlighting a sharp increase in children's screen time when school routines pause.
Parents working, children's extra free time and limited money for camps or organized activities were cited as the main drivers of the surge.
Oskars Firmans, a public relations manager at the operator, said the pattern exposes broader concerns about how children spend free time and form digital habits.
The operator urged parents to discuss online safety, ask how children use their time on the internet and set reasonable rules for smart-device use.
