Screen Time vs Your Country
Your child's hours against the reported average where you live, not against a US headline.
Reported daily recreational screen time for 8–12 year olds ranges from about 2.4 hours in Kenya to 5.5 hours in the United States, so whether a figure is high depends entirely on which country you compare it with.
