Five Tips On Your Children Television
Television can be one of the worst influences on your child. But that doesn’t
mean that it has to be! By following these tips you can help your child get the
benefits watching television without becoming a dazed little “couch potato.”
1. Establish limits on how much TV your children watch. You should do this at a
very young age but even if your child is older and has already got used to
watching too much TV it is not too late to start putting limits on TV watching
time.
It is recommended that children under age 18 months do not watch television at
all. While this may be difficult for you if you are a couch potato yourself, you
may find that cutting back on TV is good for you as well.
For children between the age of 18 months and three years of age, I recommend
no more than 1/2 hour of TV per day. And for that 1/2 hour you should choose
something such as Sesame Street.
For children between the ages of 3 years and 6 years old, I recommend setting
the limit at 1 hour of television per day.
After age 6 you can set the limit at 2 hours. That should be good limit for your
child throughout their developmental period. Once they get to their teen years
you may want to become more lenient as teens may rebel against too much
control.
2. Watch TV with your child instead of just leaving them to watch it by
themselves. When you watch the TV with your child, they are less likely to go
into a harmful “TV trance.” It’s good for you and your child to discuss what is on
the screen. This will make the experience more thought provoking.
3. Never offer TV as a reward. You shouldn’t associate television as something
that “good children” get to watch. You should also not use taking away TV as a
punishment. When you use TV as a punishment or as a reward it places too
much importance on TV in the first place.
