No TV in child’s bedroom!
Pass your exams first!
New zealand researchers have explored the links in the longer term. They observed the fate of more than 1 000 children born between 1972 and 1973, focusing on their school careers. They made two findings on the consequences of the abuse of television:
• The TV in childhood (between 5 and 11 years) is linked to failure to complete a university;
• The television during adolescence (between 13 and 15 years) increases the risk of leaving school without any qualifications.
In the first case, it seems to deny the positive impact of television for over three years. In the longer term, the effect seems deleterious.
As for problems during adolescence, the explanation seems simple: the result of watching too much television night certainly revisions and homework …
No TV in bedroom
To limit the time spent watching TV, you’d better delete the post in your child’s bedroom. This is underlined by another american’s study . Researchers have shown that for a primary school child to have a TV in his room had a direct influence on intellectual performance. It was worse on cognitive tests on math or reading.
Needless to demonize provided television, some programs can help develop the imagination of the child, others make it practical knowledge. But TV does not replace all other activities, outings, reading, games … And if you want your child does not watch too much television … show the example!
