    Kids aged 6 and under spend about two hours a day engaged with screens like TVs, computers, and videos, which is about the same amount of time spent doing outdoor activities. This screen time is about three times more than the average 49 minutes spent reading or being read to. Even kids under 2 spend a couple hours per day in front of screens, though pediatric experts recommend no screen time for that age group. Children from "heavy" TV households, where the TV is on most of the time, are less likely to be able to read by age 6 compared to other children. However, most young children still spend time reading or being read to for about 49 minutes per day on average, despite the influx of media

    Kids´ TV, computer habits start early


    Children aged 6 and under spend an average of two hours a day playing video games,

    using computers, and watching TV and videos, about the same

    amount spent on outdoor activities, the Kaiser Family Foundation

    reports in a study released Tuesday.

    That amount is about three times the average 49 minutes spent reading

    or being read to.

    The study found that even the youngest of children are no exception.

    Nearly two-thirds of kids under 2 spend a couple of hours a day in front

    of the screen. (The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended

    that children under 2 should not watch TV at all.) TV also affects children's reading abilities.

    Kids with a screen in their bedroom or who live in "heavy" households – defined as a home

    where the TV is on "always" or "most of the time" – are less likely to be able to read by age 6.

    The study found 34 percent of 4- to 6-year-olds from "heavy" households could read, while 56

    percent of other children that age could.

    But the study said despite the influx of media, reading is still a part of young children's lives.

    Nearly 8 in 10 will read or be read to on a typical day, on average for about 49 minutes,

    compared to the hours in front of TVs and computers.


    To keep any TV watching to a healthy level, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the

    American Psychological Association say parents should set time limits to how much and what

    children can watch. They also recommend choosing programs carefully and helping kids find

    other things to do.
