This article examines the drivers of screen-related sedentary behavior within the home context and reports on parents' attitude in supporting children's 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's behavior toward screen use and parents' perception.
