Watch your Kids While Watching TV
Television
becomes one of the most important devices which takes place in almost
houses. It can unite all members of the family as well as separate them.
However, is it important to know what your kids are watching? The
answer is, of course, absolutely "Yes" and that should be done by all
parents. Television can expose things you have tried to protect the
children from, especially violence, pornography, consumerism and so on.
Recently,
a study demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV during
the day or at bedtime often cause bed-time disruption, stress, and short
sleep duration.
Another
research found that there is a significant relationship between the
amount of time spent for watching television during adolescence and
early adulthood, and the possibility of being aggressive.
Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship between kids who watch TV a lot and being inactive and overweight.
Considering some facts mentioning above, protect your children with the following tips:
- Limit television viewing to one-two hours each day
- Do not allow your children to have a TV set in their own bedrooms
- Review the rating of TV shows which your children watch
- Watch television with your children and discuss what is happening in the show
