Television becomes one of the most important devices which take places in almost houses. It can unite all members of the family as well as separate them. However, is it important to know what your kids are watching? The answer is, of course, absolutely "Yes" and that should be done by all parents. Television can expose things you have tried to protect the children from, especially violence, pornography, consumerism, and so on.
Recently, a study demonstrated that spending too much time on watching TV during the day or at the bedtime often caused bedtime disruption, stress, and short sleep duration. Another research found that there is a significant relationship between the amount of time spare for watching television during adolescence and early adulthood, and the possibility of being aggressive.
Meanwhile, many studies have identified a relationship between kids who watch TV a lot and being inactive and overweight.
