Workaholics will find it harder to foist off children on tutors or use addictive games and apps as de-facto babysitters, but then the government is trying to reduce overtime too. Over the longer term, this could be healthy for Chinese families, but not so much for businesses.

        Television consumption continues to be the favorite media activity and the medium they spend the most time with (Rideout, Foehr, & Roberts, 2010, pp. 11-15).
        The number of TVs in the home has increased over the past ten years, with 71% of 8- to 18-year-olds containing TVs in their bedrooms (Rideout, Foehr, & Roberts, 2010, p. 16).
        98% of families had a television in their living room, 63% had a television in a child’s room, and 46% had a television in an eating space (Jordan, Hersey, McDivitt, Heitzler, 2006, p. e1304). Another possible contributing factor to the popularity of television among young people is the consumption habits of their parents. Just under half of all 8- to 18- year-olds say they live in a home where the television is left on most of the time and 64% say the TV is usually on during meals (Rideout, Foehr, & Roberts, 2010, p. 35). Overall, what this information indicates is that children and adolescents spend a considerable amount of time each day interacting with mobile devices, television and online media due to the development of new ways to consume and access this media.
        Decision on media Parents make numerous decisions about their children’s media environment: how many TVs, computers and video games they buy for the home; whether their kids have cell phones and iPods; whether there are TVs and video game players in their children’s bedrooms; whether the TV is usually on during meals or as daily background; and whether they establish any rules about their children’s media use. All of these decisions, put together, create a media environment for young people.

        The experience can also play a role in bringing the family together and positively influencing the time family members spend with each other.
    - - In 2016, the Agency for Electronic Media and UNICEF, in cooperation with other partners, presented the Internet portal medijskapismenost.hr intended to provide information and to educate parents, guardians, caregivers and teachers about media literacy.
