5. Facts There is an association between recreational screen time and health, if there is more than 2 hours of screen time per day. Parents need to take measures. Recommendations: No screens in bedrooms. For younger children, choose screen materials with a slower pace. Monitor and control time spent on handheld games/media/smartphones. Multi-tasking with different devices whilst studying should be discouraged.

6. Facts NHS Chief Medical Officer Annual Report 2013 “Evidence suggests that extended screen time per day has an effect on health which is independent of the sedentary aspects. Mechanisms which include age specific maximum times need to be set by parents.”

7. Screen Time Per Day 3-7 years0.5 – 1 hour 7-12 years1 hour 12-15 years1.5 hours 16+ years2 hours

8. What should you say to your children? Adult’s brain and bodies are not the same as children's. Adult’s brains are fully formed and screen time does not have the same effect. Unhealthy dependency on screen time is bad for health, well being and education. Extensive computer game playing among children may lead to long term changes in the brain reward circuitry that resembles the effects of substance dependence. By the age of 7 today the average child will have watched the equivalent of a full year of screen media. By 80 years they will have spent 17.6 years doing the same.
