- LINCOLN, Neb. — As summer break begins, many families are seeing kids spend more time on phones, tablets and other devices — a shift that experts say can carry both risks and benefits depending on how screens are used.
A Lingokids survey found 68% of kids increase screen time significantly during the summer months. Linda Reddish with the University of Nebraska Early Childhood Center said the seasonal increase is known as the “summer dip.”
“The risk is the amount of tie that’s ticking up that children are onscreen; the average time now is 2.5 hours a day on screen use,” Reddish said. “Which means they are not engaged in learning activities or other kinds of things that are appropriate for their age. At the same time, there’s a risk of inappropriate things online. The benefit is, it can be something you and your child do together to learn how to navigate this new space.”
