The report was released by Aura, an online safety company that also has a parental monitoring app for kids' devices.

It found that among kids aged 7 to 12 years, screen time jumped by 30% in the summer compared to the school year.

For teens, it rose by 15%.

And summer weekday screen use for both age groups stayed at weekend levels.

Psychologist Lauren Lee at Aura says nighttime screen use was also high during the summer months.

While younger kids spend most of their screen time using YouTube and Roblox, teenagers prefer social media apps.
