I found this study. Here is the main gist of it:
- Television Statistics
- According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day (or 28 hours/week, or 2 months of nonstop TV-watching per year). In a 65-year life, that person will have spent 9 years glued to the tube.
- II CHILDREN
- Number of minutes per week that parents spend in meaningful conversation with their children: 3.5
- Number of minutes per week that the average child watches television: 1,680
- Percentage of 4-6 year-olds who, when asked to choose between watching TV
- and spending time with their fathers, preferred television: 54
Just some food for thought for today. Seriously, minutes per week- 3.5. What are these parents doing??????? I can't go 5 minutes without Lil'Bug clamoring for interaction, discussion, or for questions to be answered.
