And how can you help them develop a positive relationship with screens?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How much screen time is OK?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.gov.au\/topics\/physical-activity-and-exercise\/physical-activity-and-exercise-guidelines-for-all-australians?\">The Australian<\/a>\u00a0guidelines for screen time are part of its 24-hour movement guidelines. These prescribe the amount of time we should spend each day on physical activity, sleep and screen time to maintain physical and mental health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>The screen time guidelines, which are based on seated activity, recommend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>no screen time for children under two<\/li>\n<li>no more than one hour of screen time for children aged two to five<\/li>\n<li>no more than two hours of recreational screen time outside of school work from the age of five to 17.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/aifs.gov.au\/resources\/short-articles\/too-much-time-screens\">just<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29219104\/\">17%<\/a>\u00a0to 23% of Australian pre-schoolers and 15% of 5 to 12-year-olds meet these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/osp4.776\">recommendations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How screen time affects kids\u2019 diets and health<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Children with higher screen time are more likely to engage in mindless eating and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33646623\/\">overeating<\/a>. When they\u2019re distracted by screens, kids can miss important signals from their brains letting them know they\u2019re full.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re also more likely to crave and eat unhealthier foods. This is driven, in part, by junk food\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/topics\/obesity\/food-advertising-children\">advertising accompanying children\u2019s content<\/a>\u00a0on screens.<\/p>\n<p>The lesser-known way too much screen time affects a child\u2019s diet is by impacting their sleep. For children and adolescents,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.gov.au\/topics\/physical-activity-and-exercise\/physical-activity-and-exercise-guidelines-for-all-australians?\">adequate sleep<\/a>\u00a0is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>11 to 14 hours, including naps, for toddlers<\/li>\n<li>10 to 13 hours, including naps, for three-to five-year-olds<\/li>\n<li>nine to 11 hours for kids aged five to 13<\/li>\n<li>eight to ten hours for teenagers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Research shows a child\u2019s ability to get adequate sleep is impacted by screen time. A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25193149\/\">review of 67 studies<\/a>\u00a0of school-aged children and adolescents found screen time was associated with shorter and later sleep in 90% of the studies reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>We need\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/dmrr.3667#:%7E:text=The%20consequences%20of%20sleep%20disruption,increased%20body%20weight%20and%20adiposity\">adequate sleep<\/a>\u00a0to regulate two essential hormones \u2013 ghrelin and leptin \u2013 that manage our hunger and appetite. Getting less than our recommended sleep\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/dmrr.3667#:%7E:text=The%20consequences%20of%20sleep%20disruption,increased%20body%20weight%20and%20adiposity\">disrupts our appetite hormones<\/a>, resulting in an increased desire to eat.<\/p>\n<p>It also leads to increased\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3763921\/\">impulsive behaviour<\/a>\u00a0linked to food choices, which often results in us reaching for foods high in sugar, fats and salt for immediate gratification. So if your child is not getting the sleep they need, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019ll be using their pester power to satisfy their craving for sugary, fatty and salty foods the next day.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, more time indoors looking at screens can mean less time being physically active. Australia\u2019s guidelines\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.gov.au\/topics\/physical-activity-and-exercise\/physical-activity-and-exercise-guidelines-for-all-australians?\">recommend<\/a>\u00a0children do at least 60 minutes each day of physical activity that makes the heart beat faster (or at least one hour of \u201cenergetic play\u201d for pre-schoolers). The 60 minutes doesn\u2019t have to be all in one go \u2013 it can be made up of several shorter sessions through the day.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What can parents do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fortunately, there are some practical steps you can take to ensure your child has a healthy relationship with screens and ensure they\u2019re getting enough sleep and physical activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Establish screen time rules<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Consider guidelines for your child\u2019s age and cover expectations for where, when and how screens are used. Young kids playing an educational game on a tablet in the family room might be OK, while watching YouTube in the bedroom might not.<\/p>\n<p>Make mealtimes and the bedroom at bedtime screen-free zones. Involve your children, particularly teenagers, in the process to ensure everyone follows the rules.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Spend time outdoors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Try establishing regular time in your family\u2019s schedule for physical activity outdoors, whether a daily visit to the park or sports on the weekend. Making sure your child gets enough physical activity daily also supports their sleep and overall health.<\/p>\n<p>Like rule-setting, involving your child in the activity choice will make them more willing to participate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Be a role model<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kids closely observe and mimic their parents, so the best way to ensure your child has healthy screen time habits is to adopt them yourself. Apply rules to your own screen use at home, including being mindful of being distracted by never-ending notifications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Make your child\u2019s bedroom a sleep sanctuary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ensuring your child\u2019s bedroom is quiet, comfortable and dark enough is essential for a good night\u2019s sleep. This includes being at a comfortable temperature (18\u00b0C to 22\u00b0C). Store toys and screens in other rooms so your child associates their bedroom with sleep time, not playtime.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Nick Fuller is the Charles Perkins Centre Research Program Leader at the University of Sydney<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re a parent, you\u2019ll be well-acquainted with one of the more hotly debated parenting topics: screen time and kids.
