Screen Time

Sedentary Death Syndrome includes more than 30 health problems caused or worsened by a sedentary lifestyle: CVD, diabetes, arthritis, stroke, hypertension, cancer, osteoporosis, chronic lung disease, obesity, and mental issues such as depression.

This year, the average child will spend more time in front of the television then he or she will spend in school.

By the time this generation of children are 65 years old, they will have watched 9 years of television.

Are your children spending 2 hours or more in screen time?
