Parents spend approximately 96 hours fighting with their kids over screen time every year.
This staggering statistic means hundreds of fights between parent and child are induced by modern technology.
That’s according to a new survey of 2,000 parents of children in kindergarten through fifth grade, which aimed to investigate how screens can impact child-parent relationships. Behind these conflicts lies a deeper concern: Two-thirds (67%) of parents fear they’re losing precious moments with their children due to screen addiction.
Even more concerning, 41% of parents said they’re afraid they’re losing their little ones’ childhood to technology completely.
The study, conducted by Talker Research on behalf of AngelQ, an age-appropriate browser for kids, revealed parents’ biggest concerns about their children’s online lives include exposure to online predators (51%), accidental exposure to inappropriate content (46%) and screen addiction.
