GeTTING STArTed
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.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.

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.

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.

Standard Guidelines for Adaptor Toys
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.

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.
