Featured Tips

Monitor your children's TV programs and the number of hours watching TV. The Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than 2 hours of quality programs each day. As an alternative to TV parents can suggest outdoor play; offer a board game or reading as an alternative. The most important way to monitor TV is to watch programs together.

Lives Changed
