Question 3

Correct Answer:

Verified

Answers will vary. The average young American now spends more time with electronic media than in school. The typical 8- to 10-year-old spends nearly 8 hours a day using some type of electronic media, and older children and teenagers spend more than 11 hours a day. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) counsels parents to limit the viewing time of elementary school children to no more than 2 hours a day to encourage more interactive activities such as talking, playing, singing, and reading together "that will promote proper brain development."
Too much time on the Internet has been linked with violence, cyberbullying, trouble in school, obesity, lack of sleep, and other problems. Generally, youths who spend more time with media have lower grades and lower levels of personal contentment. These findings are similar for girls and boys across all categories of age, race or ethnicity, parents' social class, and single- and two-parent households. Please see the section " Primary Socialization Agents" for more information.
