How much TV is it ok for a child to watch?

Parents are asking if it is allowed to watch TV from the baby.

The first 2 years of life is very important for the development of the brain. The TV can steal valuable time from the interaction of the child with their parents, with the rest of the world, but of course the game itself. Children older than two years old can watch on average 1-2 hours a day provided that monitor quality programs.

Negative effects of television on child:

Violence

– The small children cannot easily distinguish imagination from reality. Attitude problems, nightmares and Difficulty in sleeping may be subsequent to exposure to scenes of violence on the TV monitor.

Risky behaviours

– The children watch television programs showing scenes of violence and include scenes of sex, excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, etc.

Obesity

– It is no longer acceptable to all and it has been demonstrated in various studies that TV causes obesity.

Impact of advertising

– Children are exposed to hundreds of advertisements every day, such as advertisements, games, food, beverages, etc.
