Most NZ children spend at least 2 hours a day screen-staring

Almost all Kiwi kids spend more than two hours a day staring at a screen, but not all screen time is created equal, Netsafe says. 

“Spending two hours on the internet passively consuming media that isn’t teaching anything isn’t as beneficial as spending two hours on the internet learning or being creative,” a Netsafe spokeswoman said.

She said parents needed to understand how their children were using the internet, before they capped its use.
