Survey: Parents binge on media, say they’re good role models
LOS ANGELES — Parents spend more than nine hours a day with TVs, computers and other screen devices while also giving themselves high marks as role models for their children’s media use, according to a survey released Tuesday.
The study also found they were enthusiastic about technology’s role in their children’s lives but wary of the risks it may hold, including loss of sleep and online over-sharing.
Researchers from the nonprofit Common Sense Media group and Northwestern University’s Center on Media and Human Development conducted the project.
