A very simple way parents can make efforts towards lowering their child’s risk of obesity is to keep the television out of the child’s bedroom.
A study has shown that children aged one to five years who have TVs in their bedrooms watch nearly five hours more television and videos each week versus children without TVs in their rooms. And their conclusion is that those children watching all that TV are more likely to be overweight.
It is recommended that the parent limit their child’s TV usage before age two and to not even entertain the thought of putting a TV in their room. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children’s total media viewing time be limited to one to two hours per day.
Instead of conducting TV viewing in their room, how about some simple kids exercises? Kids exercise activities can be fun, healthy and help prevent childhood obesity.
