Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. You have explained that you are concerned about screen time for children under 10, but we are not sure who you would like to be under a legal obligation to limit screen time, or how else you would like this to be enforced. You could start a new petition setting this out.

Background
Screens are harmful to our children, we have an epidemic of children who have no attention span, speech and language delays and are addicted to screens. Children should not require a screen for the in between or waiting for everyday things. That downtime, while easier for parents to just throw a screen in front of their kid, is actually a crucial life skill for children to learn.
