Where 2 Find Hussyfan

The boys in front of the TV

While it is very common to use television as an entertainment, like a toy, a distraction that keeps the child calm and quiet, parents often worry too much about the number of hours their children watch Television and the quality and content of programs continue on a regular basis. In reality, the effects of television on children can be both negative and positive. Exposure to the emotions that transmits the programming can develop their sensitivity as well as can destroy it, the visual language can encourage your own personal expression or delay the use of language learning, and ongoing distribution of consumption can lead to repeat the behaviors observed them could pass as socially useful values.

For all this, the key is not to prohibit television or allow it to excess, but to regulate the amount of hours that kids are in front of her. The best ways to do this are:


-Provide alternative activities to kids TV. Encourage them to do sports, going out with friends or creative expression (drawing, writing, painting, etc.) Causes the reduction in hours is something natural and not a process imposed against their will.


-Watch TV together with them to explain things they do not understand, or mark the incorrect behavior. If you are facing the contents on their own fail to develop in this way what they perceive.




-study program the channels, to clearly mark the kids what program is allowed to do and what not.



-Delete the habit of watching TV at mealtime and not allowed to play or do some other activity with it turned on, not only reduces the attention given to the task at hand, but also decreases and encourages dialogue isolation.


"Do not put televisions in the rooms of the boys, since it increases the importance of making in their lives. The ideal is to keep the TV in the dining room, living room or another common place for the whole family.
