Turn off the tube for family fun
As six-year-old Judy and her
little brother Greg fought all af
ternoon, their mother began to
question the wisdom of restricting
their TV viewing to half an hour a
day.
Too much television isn’t good
for children, she and her husband
agreed. But the past few days
she’d yearned for the peace and
quiet she used to have while the
children watched their afternoon
cartoons.
According to Joan Lamberson,
Extension Home Economist, Judy
and Greg’s parents are not alone in
their dilemma. Like many parents
who decide to control TV viewing,
they just don’t know how to
channel their children’s activities
when the TV is off.
"The average American wat
ches televsion somewhere be
tween 20 and 30 hours each week,”
says James E. Van Horn, Ex
tension family sociologist at Penn
State. "Watch is the word, because
little thought and no physical

activity is involved, unless you

between family members wat
ching TV is negligible. Close to 80
percent say they don’t talk to each
other while they are watching
television.”
“Many parents, because they
want to spend more of their leisure
time doing things with their
children, have tried to restrict TV
viewing to a limited number of
hours each day. This attempt too
often fails because no one knows
what to do when the TV isn’t
running,” says Van
What does he suggest 9
“First, you might talk to each
other and share the events of the
day, plans for tomorrow or the
future,” he says. You may find
that your children know little about
their family history and are
anxious to learn.
"Writing letters or stories,
writing in a diary, reading aloud or
silently, listening to music, or
finding out what kinds of music

other family members like, are all
possibilities.
‘Don’t forget games,” Van Horn
notes. “Board games, puzzles,
card games, charades can be
played by family members of all
ages.”
In good weather families can
take field trips right in their own
neighborhoods, go jogging,
bicycling or hiking together.
“Doing things together in the
family is good investment of time,
especially in the critical years
when children are forming values,
interests, and attitudes,” says Van
Horn.
