Daily Screen Time for Kids Approaches Six Hours
A survey of 1800 kids in Britain, ages five to 16 years old, was conducted by the Childwise research agency. It found that YouTube was the most popular Web site with the kiddies, followed by social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. The official breakdown was 2.7 hours per day watching television, 1.5 hours on the Internet, and 1.3 hours on computer and video games.
The accompanying drop in reading sees kids spending 0.6 hours per day in front of pages, with the number of children reading for pleasure falling from 80-percent last year to 75-percent. 42-percent of 11 to 16-year-olds said that they never read books for pleasure.
We believe the solution rests in subtitled foreign films. The best of both worlds! [From: BBC]

If more parents would take the computers out of the kids’ bedrooms, maybe they would have more control. Our computer is right in the kitchen, so I can limit their time and also check to see what they are doing and who they are talking to. Additionally, I have a simple Internet filter Ez Internet Timer http://www.internettimer.net to restrict internet access while I’m not at home. I can easily add/remove time on any particular day with just a couple clicks.
