British Children Spend Over 4 Hours a Day Staring at Screens After Lockdown, Just 40 Minutes Outside
A poll has found that the average child in Britain spends more than four hours staring at screens daily compared to just forty minutes outside.
A survey conducted for Hoya Vision by the OnePoll agency found the amount of time children spend on their phones or tablets has increased during the lockdowns, with 93 per cent of parents reporting that screen time has increased for their children during the pandemic.
In total, the average child spends over four and a half hours every day on their electrical devices, while spending just forty minutes outside, according to the poll.
The survey went on to say that the average six to 16-year-old spends more than two hours more per day inside than they did prior to the Chinese coronavirus.
The poll, which questioned 1,500 parents, found that seven in ten wish to get their children outside more but over six in ten struggled to convince them to get off their screens and get outside. Over two-thirds of parents reported that they feel their child is “addicted to screens”. – READ MORE
