The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that children spend an average of seven – YES, SEVEN – hours a day on entertainment media including TVs, computers, phones and other electronic devices.
Now, how about this question? How many hours a day would you guess a child plays outside? Well, considering that a child averages 7 hours a day with their electronic devices, that doesn’t leave much time for the good ‘ole fresh outdoors!

I loved playing in my sandbox 🙂
ooh! I wish I could enter and join in the morning! I’ve followed Richard Louv awhile now, I love what he promotes, getting kids and families outside! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and now live outside of Jacksonville, what a great way to meet others and hear a great message. Thanks! Maybe next time 🙂
