What are Your Kids Watching?

Is it important to know your kids are watching? Of course it is. Television can expose your children to things that you have tried to protect them from, especially violence,drugabuse etc.
One study demonstrated that watching too much TV during the day or at bedtime often causes bedtime resistance, sleep onset delay and anxiety around sleep, followed by shortened sleep duration.

            Another study found a significant association between the amount of time spent watching television during adolescence and early adulthood, and the likelihood of subsequent aggressive acts against other.
            Meanwhile, many studies have found an association between kids watching a lot of TV, being inactive and overweight.
            Considering some facts above, protect your children with some following tips:
1. Limit television viewing to 1-2 hours each, day.
2. Do not allow you children to have a TV set in their bedrooms.
3. Review the ratings of TV shows that your children watch.
4. Watch television with your children and discuss what is happening during the show.
