Reason 2: Kids get exposed to a lot of media – every day According to recent national studies from the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Annenberg Public Policy Center, kids 8 – 18 years old spend over six hours each day on average using media outside of school (watching TV, videos, or movies, listening to CDs, using computers, reading, and/or playing video games). Remarkably, two-thirds of these kids watch TV in their bedrooms and almost half report watching TV during meals. Eighty-three percent of children under six and 59% of children under two watch TV on a typical day for an average of about two hours.
