Abstract
In the last two decades, anecdotal evidence suggests that screen use has increased considerably in children and has influenced their health and wellbeing. This study investigates how much time children and young adults spend on their screens. Forty-five participants were interviewed; the maximum number of hours spent on screens is 10 and the lowest is one. Mindful use of screens is recommended with careful monitoring of screen use by users and carers of young children.
