Another important factor is the age of the children. In my experience the older a child is, the LESS time they are interested in spending with you.

3-4 year olds are my personal favorite, old enough to express themselves, still innocent of the worlds ways, and for them I usually do 1-2 hours.

5-6 year olds45 mins to an hour depending on how well the children act. I do frequently run over if I dont have another engagement or if the kids are really great.

7-8 years 30 mins tops...again depending on the individual children.
