Children’s screentime is commonly viewed as passive and problematic. Current focus on reducing the time children spend using digital technologies has meant screentime is quantified often at the expense of considering the quality of children’s digital interactions. These ‘clocking’ practices tend to overlook the potential for children’s digital play to foster movement and relationships with others. Building upon childhood scholarship that has sugg…
Effects of Persuasive App Design and Self‐Regulation on Young Children’s Digital Disengagement
Despite the vast array of app choices available to children and evidence of a high prevalence of persuasive design features (e.g., rewards, character pressure, and aesthetic manipulation) within these apps, little is known about how, and to what extent, these design elements influence children’s digital app play. The current study investigated the effects of app persuasive design and children’s self‐regulation, and their interaction, on children’…
Longitudinal associations between child, parenting, home and neighbourhood factors and children’s screen time through 4 to 7 years of age
Providing guidance to families about building healthy screen practices from an early age should focus on parenting consistency and management of screen time, as well as responsiveness to engage children in other activities. Home routines on screen use, when consistently managed, can provide young children with opportunities to learn to self-regulate their own screen use behaviours from an early age and build healthy screen time habits
Stakeholder perspectives of an experiential learning program at a children’s museum to promote healthy eating and physical activity
Key stakeholders (museum staff and caregivers) provided insights regarding perceived feasibility and acceptability of the HL program delivered in the children's museum. Preliminary findings highlight the potential of children's museums as a setting for EL health eating and physical activity programs. Further, this study highlights the significance of stakeholder engagement, collaboration, and incorporation of hands-on and enjoyable activities to …
School Flexible Learning Spaces, Student Movement Behavior and Educational Outcomes among Adolescents
Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Associations between 24-Hour Movement Behaviours, Recreational Screen Use and Psychosocial Health Outcomes in Children
It remains unclear whether the time-use composition of 24-h movement behaviours (sleep, sedentary time (ST), physical activity (PA)) and recreational screen use are independently associated with psychosocial health. This study examined the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between 24-h movement behaviour composition, recreational screen use and psychosocial health outcomes in children. Measures completed at baseline (n = 127; 11.7 yea…
Cross-Sectional Associations of Application Use and Media Program Viewing with Cognitive and Psychosocial Development in Preschoolers
Executive functions and psychosocial health during childhood are positively associated with health and developmental outcomes into adulthood. Electronic media use has been reported to adversely affect health and development in children; however, what remains unclear is whether contemporary media behaviors, such as electronic application (app) use, exerts similar effects on health and development. We investigated the associations of electronic med…
Not just for fun anymore’
Participation in physical activity (PA) tends to decline between childhood and adolescence, and in Australia the bulk of this decline has been shown to occur in the domain of non-organised PA (e.g. active play, informal sports). A better understanding of the reasons for the decline in non-organised PA may support strategies to counter barriers and strengthen enablers of participation. This study aimed to explore the stories of young adults who wi…
Wrist-Based Accelerometer Cut-Points to Identify Sedentary Time in 5–11-Year-Old Children
Results from this study support the recommendation to place accelerometers on the non-dominant wrist to minimize "noise" during seated sedentary behaviors
A collaborative approach to adopting/adapting guidelines - The Australian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the early years (Birth to 5 years)
To our knowledge, this is only the second time the GRADE-ADOLOPMENT approach has been used. Following this approach, the judgments of the Australian Consensus Panel did not differ sufficiently to change the directions and strength of the recommendations and as such, the Canadian recommendations were adopted with very minor alterations. This allowed the Guidelines to be developed much faster and at lower cost. As such, we would recommend the GRADE…
Acute effects of reducing sitting time in adolescents
The trial was registered as a clinical trial with the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ( ACTRN12614001064695 ) on the 3rd of October 2014 - registered retrospectively
Adherence to 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years and associations with social-cognitive development among Australian preschool children
Strategies to promote adherence to the 24-Hour Movement Behaviour Guidelines for the Early Years among preschool children are warranted. Supporting preschool children to meet all guidelines or more guidelines, particularly the sleep and screen time guidelines, may be beneficial for their social-cognitive development
Compliance with the Australian 24-hour movement guidelines for the early years
Just under 9% of our sample met the overall Australian 24 h Movement Guidelines for the Early Years. BMI was not associated with the accomplishment of any of the 24-h Movement Guidelines. Strategies to promote adherence to the 24-h movement guidelines in toddlers, particularly for screen time, are necessary, as promoting health-related behaviors in early childhood has the potential to provide children a strong foundation for lifelong physical and…
