    Obviously this is a matter of personal opinion and what your parents are comfortable with. I have a brother that's 10 years old and he very rarely goes on his laptop and if he does he goes on for about an hour or two at the most.

    I'd say that at such a young age he definitely shouldn't be spending so much time on his laptop and should instead be doing activities that involve more physical and mental stimulation. On average I'd say a couple of hours a day, if that. But of course, this is just my personal opinion.

    He should go outside for at least an hour a day or something.

    He is on the laptop for 14 hours.... 7/12 of a day. He is going to get bad eyesight he should only be on for at least max 4 hours or 5.

    As long as he is taking showers doing what he has to do during the day, eating, let him on as long as he wants. If he's getting really fat then thats a problem.

    Only a few hours a day really, to be honest, they need to be a little bit stern with him
