TV habits
What can you do if your child comes home from school, turns on the TV and stays glued to the set for hours? How can you tell if you or your kids are TV addicts? These are among the questions answered in the April issue of PTA Today, which focuses on “Children in the Electronic Age.”
Recent research suggests that the average child spends 30-35 hours a week in front of the TV set. The National PTA’s magazine offers alternatives to watching TV, tips for guiding TV viewing and activities to help watchers become readers.
“Indiscriminately watching endless hours of television to the exclusion of other worthwhile activities can be harmful to the intellectual growth of children and is cause for concern,” said Nancy Lee Cecil, associate professor of reading at California State University at Sacramento, writing in PTA Today.
