This I know exactly. It means time without physical activity.

Which is precisely why you so frequently hear people seeing a young child reading a book and lamenting that they have poor parents who give them too much screen time.

In a position statement to physicians released on Thursday, the society said parents often ask about "screen time" — time spent with a screen whether it's a smartphone, TV, tablet, video game, computer, or e-reader.
