PARENT’S TV TIPS

A Healthy, Balanced “TV Diet”

By Dr. Helen Boehm

Television was long considered the “uninvited” guest in American households. However,

today many realistic and caring parents are partnering with television to create electronic

classrooms -- right in their own living rooms. They are no longer asking if children should

watch TV but, rather, which programs and on-screen activities should be part of their

children’s TV intake.

The same balanced and structured approach to developing healthy eating habits translates

to watching less, different and better television! This “TV diet” gives families a menu for

regulating children’s viewing, choosing “healthy” program content and reducing the quantity

and potency of television consumed.

So, what does a healthy, balanced “TV diet” look like?

A well-balanced diet is best…

Consider a healthy mixture of age-appropriate programming and activities that educate,

engage and entertain! A variety of viewing and interactive experiences can turn a TV

screen into an electronic classroom for learning and fun.

Trim the fat…

It is important to reduce children’s sedentary behavior and eliminate unhealthy programs

that contain violent, aggressive or disrespectful behaviors.

Move out of the candy store…

Parents are children’s ﬁrst teachers and their most powerful role models. It is difﬁcult

to improve children’s viewing when parents are modeling other TV viewing behaviors.

Consider adapting your own TV habits as a healthy example for your child.

Plan menus and season to taste…

Whenever possible, eliminate channel surﬁng and encourage the viewing of speciﬁc,

pre-selected shows. The PG-TV ratings help parents make more informed selections

that take into account the content and age-appropriateness of programs. For example,

Y-7 shows are designed for children 7 and older who can distinguish between fact and

fantasy. A TV-Y7-FV rating indicates that “fantasy violence” is present in an episode of

an animated program.

Control couch potatoes…

Children beneﬁt from participation in movement, ﬁtness activities and sports. These

bodily actions are not only important for a child’s physical growth and development but

also to monitor their emotional stability, social skills and obesity. Limit sedentary screen

time and blend physical and mental pursuits, like active on-screen games and video

activities, into the TV mix.

Starvation diets don’t work…

Many parents have found that restricting all TV time is an impractical long-term strategy.

It is possible, however, to set realistic limits that are welcomed by both parent and child!

Make viewing a choice and not a habit. Eliminate some TV time by setting a few basic rules,

such as restricting television during meals or before the day’s homework is completed.

News fast…

The realism of TV news can be overwhelming and scary for young children and reinforces

their profound safety concerns. Exposure to TV news images, particularly without a context

for scenes of terrible suffering, can cause vivid and long lasting fears.

Food for thought…

Whenever possible, connect viewing with learning. Many programs and characters are

based on books and many on-screen subjects -- from geography to sports -- can inspire

a lifelong interest in reading. Choose age-appropriate video activities that encourage

interaction and challenge critical thinking.

Dr. Helen Boehm is the author of The Right Toys, Fearless Parenting and many magazine

articles on parenting and responsible children’s media. A distinguished psychologist

and nationally known authority on children’s development, play, and media, Dr. Boehm

headed Public Responsibility and Network Standards at MTV/Nickelodeon and was Vice

President of the Fox Children’s Network.
