Parenting: The Challenge

It is recommended that children do not watch more than one or two hours of TV per day. For the most part I do agree with this. There are plenty other activities they can do besides TV. I would also advise parents not to have a TV in their childrens’ rooms. On the other hand I think some TV is ok, and is great for when parents need a break. There are plenty of educational programs now and you can always pick out a movie instead of a show. Now that there are DVRs you can pick out specific programming that you find would be beneficial to your children when the time comes for TV watching. I think as long as you limit the time they are watching and have a good balance of play time it’s ok to let them watch some TV.
