[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP who knows how to use Google: https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/15/health/screen-time-averages-parenting/index.html "Report: Kids up to age 8 spend spend an average of 2 hours and 19 minutes every day on screen media" This is from 2017, so everyone please smooth your pandemic hackles. I don't understand how people are skeptical of this stat. It includes older kids along with babies, and it's an average. When I was growing up, we barely had a computer, no gaming system, no internet, no cable. But the TV was on almost all day. I got 2 hours a day on weekdays and I was only home and awake about 2 hours a day on weekdays. That's not a defense, BTW-- I just don't see how it's shocking. [/quote] I have trouble believing that the curve here is that narrow. The 98% statistic isn't in that article, and it seems really unlikely that the 2nd%ile would be that close to the average.
