Primary Research - Interviewing parents after working at Guides and Rainbows during easter

As part of my Primary research whilst helping out over Easter at a local Guides / Brownies group I asked several parents (12 in total) when collecting their children if they feel their 

children between the ages 8-11 seem attached to screen time. The results from interviewing them meant that 9/11 of these parents claimed that they felt this was the case and felt their children were not active enough - particularly within holiday periods. Many of these parents also claimed that they felt technology was breaking key communication skills such as when eating dinner around the table, family time/ trips and when trying to play games as a family off a screen. Many parents claimed they felt the problem of their children wanting an 

electronic device such as an ipad/ phone with them is becoming a common problem. Some even claimed that they regret letting their child have access to these devices but felt unfair not letting their child have access due to their friends being allowed.  

Asked questions:

-  How many digital devices does your child have?

- Does your chid have a TV in their room

- Do you feel your child has too much screen time?

- Why do you buy digital technology for your child?

- Do you feel screen time harms family connections?
