Experts call for a rethink on guidelines about children’s screen time
The amount of time children spend using screens, such as televisions and computers, on a daily basis exceeds recommended guidelines, according to research published in open access journal BMC Public Health. These guidelines were drawn up at a time when tablets, cell phones and other mobile devices were not as present in everyday life, which suggests they need to be redrafted.
Prolonged use of screens by children is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes, such as increased risk of depression and anxiety in adolescent girls. Although the present study does not look directly at health effects on children, it is part of a longitudinal study which will.

Screen Time for 7.21 Homecoming
For reference here are the screen time numbers per regular character. For reference purposes Drizella, Alice, Gothel, and Robin were included despite not being regulars in this season. Former main cast are be counted on a different graph.
Please remember that screen time doesn’t necessarily reflect the importance of those characters to the story. Adam rightly points out that Darth Vader has very little screen time in the original Star Wars movie and Rumple only has a couple of minutes of screen time in the pilot.
Earlier seasons can be found here.
Editor’s Note: This graph counts Henry/Wish Henry and Rumple/Wish Rumple together. If you are curious I have break down graphs but this is done here to be consistent with previous rules set for the screen time graphs.
