The Television Is Still Number One

Television is always best!

With all the media that is available to our kids today, the television is still their favourite. According to New York Daily News, the Kaiser Family Foundation has conducted a study on the amount of time that children use various media. Researchers discovered that kids between 8 and 18 spend about five hours watching television daily while listening to music through various media comes second at 2.5 hours.

However, when kids watch television, they aren’t just watching the programs and shows though the “magic box”. Because of advances in technology, kids are now able to use various media platforms to watch their favourite television shows.

How many hours do your kids spend in front of the television? Have you set guidelines on their television-viewing schedule? What problems have you encountered while implementing these guidelines?
