The data analysis techniques employed were statistical methods such as descriptive and statistical inference.

Results: The findings of the study are 73.8% (177) of the sample at a level good academic performance with a total mean of 24.35 and a standard deviation of 8.558 that 78.3% (188) of the sample a good level of pupils' behavior around food with a total mean of 49.47 and a standard deviation of 12.460. There is a nonsignificant correlation relationship between all-time consumption of electronic screens with all academic performance and behavior around food results in the study at P value ≤ 0.05 except the hours my child uses digital screens per day there is a significant positive correlation relationship with academic performance at P value of 0.007 and also with behavior around food at P value of 0.011.

Conclusion: The study results regarding the pupils' behavior around food for time consumption of electronic screens in the study offerings that the majority of the sample results a good level of behavior around food.
