With the advancement in technology, the prevalence and detrimental effects of excess screen time on children has become a global problem that can lead to health issues such as obesity and other cardiovascular diseases among both adults and children. This article examines the drivers of screen-related sedentary behavior within the home context and reports on parents\u2019 attitude in supporting children\u2019s associated behavior. The study implemented a mixed method approach of online questionnaire and face-to-face interviews. A total of 140 questionnaires, 10 semistructured interviews, and responses from parents were used to evaluate children\u2019s behavior toward screen use and parents\u2019 perception. The analysis of the article has shown that parents are concerned about their children\u2019s screen time during weekends and holidays with a significant correlation between the number of hours their children spend on on-screen activities and their level of concern ( P &lt; .01). Also, for the same P value ( P &lt; .01), it has been found that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between children\u2019s screen time and their food and beverages consumption. Children\u2019s use of screen technology is becoming a challenge for parents as they present barriers to healthy physical activities. From the parents\u2019 viewpoint, there is a need to change the screen use habit and this requires an appropriate intervention that promotes gratifying measures to induce more active behaviors to displace screen viewing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2333794x19878062","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,23]],"date-time":"2019-09-23T02:43:52Z","timestamp":1569206632000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Evaluation of Children\u2019s Screen Viewing Time and Parental Role in Household Context"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Florence","family":"Nwankwo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3475-5829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyunjae Daniel","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amin","family":"Al-Habaibeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0120-7524","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiba","family":"Massoud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiff Metropolitan University, Cardiff, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2333794X19878062","unstructured":"Rideout V.
