The Daily PollRESEARCH CONDUCTED ON the amount of time children spend watching TV or using a phone or tablet has found that just 4% said that screen time didn’t take up any of their day.
The study of 4,500 children from 200 primary schools in London found that children who spent more than three hours a day in front of the screen had a higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes.
Over a third of children surveyed said that they spent an hour or less each day on screen time. Under 30% said they clocked up 1-2 hours, while 13% said it was 2-3 hours.
One in five said they spent more than three hours in front of screen.
So, what do you think? How long should children be allowed on a phone or tablet each day?
