1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Ever dupericy, Ellen Heather, I already feel safe for listening

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: to Richard Chambers. I've got hope for New Zealand again. Yes,

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: he finally a breath of fresh air leadership for us

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: in the New Zealand Police. Breath of fresh air goes

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: on and on. How much did the country just breathe

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: a sigh of relief listening to Richard Ay, I mean

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: to be a decent guy obviously was without being mean

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: to Andrew Costa made it very clear things are going

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: to change at the New Zealand Police and that he

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: is a cop first and foremost, and he's going to

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: do his job and he's going to look after the

12
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: frontline guys who have been complaining for a little while

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: about the situation. So yay, eighteen past five. Now this

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: reach research I was telling you about earlier. Researchers have

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: found that setting screen time rules can lower the risk

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: of childhood obesity. This is a study from the University

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: of Auckland and also Saint George's University of London using

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: data from nearly six thousand kids and mums, and Professor

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: of Population, Nutrition and Global Health BOYD Swinburn was part

20
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: of it.

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: Boyd. Hello, how you going.

22
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm very well, thank you. So basically what you found

23
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: is less screen time time equals more sleep time equals

24
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: the kids don't get us fat yet.

25
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of it. We're specifically looking at the

26
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: rules actually with parents applied to preschoolers and whether the

27
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: more rules they had around screen time were predictive of

28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: less obesity by eight four and a half. So this

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: is all preschoolers, and recommendations are obviously for very low

30
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 2: levels of screen time less than on our a day

31
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: is what who recommends, But of course that doesn't actually

32
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: happen with most kids. In fact, in this cohort, it

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: was almost seventy percent of them actually had more than

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: an hour of screen time a day. So it is

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: a challenge keeping these young kids away from the screens.

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: But the more rules that were in the household, the

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: less they watched, the less screen time they had, and

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: also the better sleep duration they along the sleep well,

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: it is it.

40
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: Not possible simply that families that are prepared to set

41
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: screen time rules, our families that are prepared to set

42
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: any kind of rule, whether it's you go to bed

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: at seven rule, you eat your vegetables, you don't get

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: ice cream rule.

45
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's true. And it's households that are

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: kind of less chaotic, more likely to have rules and

47
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: rules around multiple things, putting boundaries around kids, and have

48
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: have better outcomes. Families which are a bit more chaotic,

49
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: especially if the low income families and they're struggling, then

50
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: that tends to be more chaos and more difficulty in

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: maintaining screen times. And actually screens are obviously a good

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: way to keep kids engage when you're trying to do

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: other things, you know, make dinner and produce the chaos.

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: Produce the chaos.

55
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,160
