Research says that it’s important to limit the amount of time children spend
in front of the TV set or the computer screen. Everything from their reading
ability to their physical health is affected. Children who watch TV the least
do the best in school. Watching TV may limit a child’s attention span, lead
to obesity and aggressiveness and may possibly contribute to the development
of attention deficit disorders. Plus, all the time spent watching TV is time
that can be spent learning and doing other things.
Now you can help parents tame the TV monster in their homes! This Parent
Guide offers sound, research-based facts about how screen media affects children
and what parents can do about it. The transition may be difficult for some
children so this guide prepares parents for that, too. They’ll get a list
of ideas on how to make the switch from no rules to limits on TV, video games
and computer time painless. It provides parents with useful ideas on how to
curb their child’s TV watching to fit in with the new rules and will supply
them with alternatives to TV watching that children will like so much they
won’t even miss the TV. This Parent Guide is sure to build student achievement
at your school.
