A new survey also shows that four out of every five Spanish children consider themselves to be Christian.

The new survey on infancy in Spain, edited by the SM Foundation, has shown that nearly half of children aged between six and eleven have their own mobile phone. For those aged between 12 and 14, 82% have a mobile.

The survey also revealed that three out of every ten Spanish children feel lonely at home, and some of them often spend the entire evening without seeing their parents. The father did not normally dine at home in one in five cases. The children of immigrants are those who are left alone the most.

Four out of five Spanish children say that they are Christians, pray and believe in god.
