A Short Film by Alexandrena Parker
Australian children are spending more than 20 hours a week on a screen.
At 4–5 years old, children average more than two hours screen time per week-day. By 12–13 years old, this increases to more than three hours average per week-day and almost four hours per weekend day. This means that up to 30% of a child's waking time is spent in front of a screen.

On average, American children spend less than 10 minutes a day in unstructured outdoor play compared to seven hours in front of a screen.
