Children spend many hours a week in front of the television. Television programmes influence children's behaviour, attitudes, perception of values and social reality. The hours spent in front of the television could be used for other activities such as sports and games. It is therefore important that parents keep the use of television at home under control.<\/p>\n

Television is part of modern life. Children recognise their favourite characters from TV shows and talk about programmes with their friends. Television itself is therefore an integral part of modern life and can even be used as a useful learning experience. There are numerous children's programmes from which children can learn a lot and which they enjoy. Other television programmes make an effort to involve children in the programme and encourage them to participate.
Children's programmes are fun for children and are also a welcome break for parents. However, misuse must be avoided. It is often easier for parents to put their children in front of the television for a whole afternoon so that they have more time for themselves. The children, on the other hand, can fall into a lethargy if they are not offered any other interesting alternatives.<\/p>\n
In order to prevent abuse, general rules must be established in the household. One of the most important rules is for parents to set an example of responsible behaviour towards television, because television addiction is not a matter for children alone, but also for adults. If the television is permanently switched on, don't be surprised if children are magically attracted to it. The television should only be switched on at certain fixed times.<\/p>\n
In reasonable doses, television can be educationally valuable and mentally stimulating. This is especially true if parents actively participate in the children's programmes, watch them together with the children and talk to them about them. After a programme, parents can sit down with the children and draw a picture with them about the programme they have just watched.<\/p>\n
Family life should not revolve around the television. If the children want to watch their favourite show, they are welcome to switch it on, but it should be switched off again at the end of the programme.
Wherever possible, children should not be given control of the remote control, as this allows them to watch programmes that are not appropriate for their age group and can harm their social development. A maximum of one and a half hours of television per day is recommended.<\/p>\n
Children often want to watch television because they are bored. In this case, it is up to the parents to keep them busy and encourage them to play. A short trip to the playground or a ball game outside will distract children from their desire to watch TV programmes and allow them to live their own lives instead of the virtual lives of their TV characters. Never use a television as a babysitter.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Parents should select programmes for their children that are educationally valuable. If such programmes are not available on television, they should buy DVDs and limit the hours spent in front of the screen to the duration of the DVD.<\/p>\n
You should not simply switch on the TV and search for a suitable programme. It is better to find the start of a programme and switch on the TV at this time and for this purpose.<\/p>\n
Parents should talk openly with their children about why they should not watch too much television. They should also know before a programme starts that the set will be switched off afterwards. This will help them learn to appreciate the minutes they are allowed to watch.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
