Pandemic screen time tops 6 hours a day for some kindergartners
Kindergartners from low-income families spent more than six hours a day in front of screens during two early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, a small Ohio study suggests.
That is nearly double the screen time found before the pandemic in similar children, according to other research.
Caregivers from low-income households may have faced more difficulties than those from more advantaged families in managing the time their children spent watching TV and using computers, phones and tablets when child care was shut down, according to the researchers.
Still, the results are concerning, said Rebecca Dore, lead author of the study and senior research associate at The Ohio State University’s Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy.
