BEDTIME WATCHING?

We all know that most children watch too much TV, but trying to control this has always been difficult. Some parents are more relaxed than others about the programmes their children watch and for how long, but usually they can switch off the TV when they want to. However, the problem is much bigger when children have a TV in their own bedrooms!

In this case, parents don’t know when their children’s TV is on and what they’re watching. In most countries, the TV companies are quite responsible about what sort of programmes they broadcast when children are watching. But these rules don’t apply if a child is watching alone after his/her bedtime.

A survey in the USA found that more than half of all children (in some age groups this increases to 70%) have a TV in their bedrooms. Many of these children need more exercise and have more health problems compared to children who don’t. They also get lower marks in their school tests. As well as this, children spent more time alone in their rooms than interacting with family and friends.

It’s very difficult to take away a TV from a child, but it is possible to control the time spent watching. There is a gadget you can buy and you programme it with the number of hours a week a child can watch TV. This applies to ALL TVs in the house! When the child starts watching, he has to type in a special number. When he reaches the limit, the TV won’t switch on! Some parents have taken other action. They put their children’s electrical gadgets, like computers, games consoles, TVs, etc., on a different electrical supply and turn it off at bedtime!
