How do i know if my child is spending too much time on the internet?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Your child should be spending no more than 2 hrs. Daily on tv, computer and/or video games. In addition, if your child is withdrawing from personal relationships then the internet is taking over your child's life.

General guideline: Generally, if you have a school age child who is spending more than an hour a day on a school day in front of a screen (internet, tv, video game, smartphone) then they have too much "screen time." excessive screen time is correlated with multiple problems, including problems with school performance and obesity. Turn off the electronics, go outside with your child. Get connected with your kids.
