National Institute of Health are doing a study of 10,000 kids and what they're saying is a child who

sleeps at least eight hours a night and who gets one hour a day of exercise and who is on that amusing

entertainment two hours or less a day that that is a winning combination. So one

hour get outside or inside, but physical exercise, sleep for eight hours a day and limit

your screen time to two hours or less.

And if you can get there, your kids will be set up to be much healthier than the average child.

Arlene Pelican joins us today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly.

Thanks for joining us.

I'm John Fuller.

John, I think the number one response we get from parents

is what can I do with screens?

It's overwhelming.

And you know, sometimes Gene and I did it.

Well, sometimes we didn't.

I get for far more credit. I was more passive about it. I wasn't as intentional.

And you know, no matter where you're at in that spectrum of screen control, today's program will give you more information about how to

manage those things. You know, we delayed the phones as long as we could, smartphones.

I think Troy, that was a good thing. Gene was big on imagination.

Let's not let them have too much screen time.

So they did the Legos and all those things.

And those were good things we did.

And again, I think on my side I was probably that's all right
