What parents are discussing...

With families becoming more and more nuclear, most mothers start off by using the television as a " babysitter" . Children as young as a year old are left in front of the TV to keep them out of trouble while the mother cooks or bathes. The child soon plonks herself in front of the TV whenever it is switched on and even needs the TV to be on while eating. True, mothers can go about their work with the assurance that their child will not get into trouble, but most parents would rethink their strategy if they are aware of the side effects of over exposure to the television. With television being such an integral part of our daily lives, its almost impossible to completely banish it from our child's life. However as parents we could: Choose the programs our children will watch, and stick to the schedule Encourage children to cultivate the reading habit. Help her develop other hobbies such as building models, drawing. Get her interested in sports Finally, set a good example by limiting your own television viewing. What do yo do when your child gets glued to the telivision set? Share with us!
