Kids aged 6 and under spend around 2 hours per day engaged with screens like TVs, computers and videos, similar to time spent outdoors. This screen time is about 3 times more than the average 49 minutes spent reading or being read to each day. Even children under 2 spend a couple hours daily in front of screens, contrary to pediatrician recommendations of no screen time under age 2. Kids from "heavy" TV households where the TV is on most of the time are less likely to read proficiently by age 6 compared to others.

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.
