Many Preschoolers Get A Lot Of Screen Time, Instead Of Communicating With Parents

Many Preschoolers Get A Lot Of Screen Time, Instead Of Communicating With Parents.
Two-thirds of preschoolers in the United States are exposed to more than the high two hours per era of veil time from television, computers, video games and DVDs recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, a revitalized study has found. Researchers from Seattle Children's Research Institute and the University of Washington looked at the ordinary screen time of nearly 9000 preschool-age children included in the federal Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort, an observational mug up of more than 10000 children born in 2001.

On average, preschoolers were exposed to four hours of process time each weekday, with 3,6 hours of exposure occurring at home. Those in home-based infant care had a combined average of 5,6 hours of screen time at home and while at youth care, with 87 percent exceeding the recommended two-hour limit, the investigators found.
