Master the
Magic Box
How many hours a week does
your child watch TV? A recent
youngster will watch 16,000
hours of television in the years
between preschool and high
school graduation, says Jim
Van Horn, Extension family life
specialist at The Pennsylvania
State University.
Some of that TV watching
time is beneficial. He can learn
new words, ideas or facts. TV
enables him to visit the world of
make-believe that used to be
reserved for movie theaters. He
can learn about history,
geography and world events.
~ He can also
grammar, rude manners, and
the use of violence as a solution
to problems. He may begin to
mistake the unreal world of
Worst of all, the child who
spends his time watching may
lose time in doing things.
Mr. Van Horn suggests that it
isn’t necessary to toss TV in the
trash can but it is a good idea to
be master rather than slave of
the magic box.
A youngster should spend
some time each day in active
play either outside or in with his
toys. Make sure there is time
set aside for reading, drawing
and creative activities as well
as homework.
This may mean some limits
on the time spent on watching
TV. Talk with the child to help
decide what limits to set and
which programs are worth
watching.
Serve as an example by
breaking your awn TV habit.
Watch programs you like, but
don’t hesitate to turn off the set
and read, play games or just
talk, says Van Horn.
