Valuable tips Indeed! Thanks a ton. In our home we normally spend TV time together and make call it family time. Instead of watching movies or shows it is better to watch quiz or any other informative shows with kids and make them relate with their experience in class as mentioned here. Planning to share the details discussed here with other parents at the interaction session in my kid's school -Orchids International.

Very interesting article. Kids are now more into TV and computers so a time need to be set so that they watch TV for a fixed time.

What parents are discussing...

Tired of telling your children to stop being couch potatoes. If you have realized that you cannot stop your children from watching TV, here are tips that at least help you to get the best out of the idiot box. 1. Choose the programmes your children should watch. You should be able to clearly underline the programmes not meant for children, at least in the initial years. 2. Watch with them. Let TV time be family time. 3. Arouse their curiosity. Ask them questions related to their favorite programmes. TV can be a learning experience if TV watching is made interactive by nature. For instance, while watching a science quiz/mythological serial/chat show, ask them to relate to their classroom experiences. 4. TV time should never be overlapped with meals. 5. Discourage late night television viewing. Is your child also glued to the television all the time? How do you stop him? Share with us!
