Screen time is a term used to describe how much time children spend looking and 

interacting with screens, including smartphones, tablets, computers and televisions. 

A majority of Australian children are spending more than the recommended two-hour daily limit for screen time (watching television, on computers and playing electronic games).

At 4–5 years old, children average more than two hours screen time per week-day. By 12–13 years old, this increases to more than three hours average per week-day and almost four hours per weekend day. This means that up to 30% of a child’s waking time is spent in front of a screen.

Here are some tips on how you can reduce screen time at home.
