    Kids aged 8-12 spend about six hours a day on screens watching shows, playing games, and connecting on social media, sometimes doing multiple activities at once. Teenagers between 13-18 spend around nine hours a day consuming media outside of school and homework. Surveys show that excessive social media and mobile device use can negatively impact teenagers' ability to retain information and perform tasks as they are more engaged with their screens than interacting with people offline.
