What should I do if my child likes to watch TV?

Children love watching TV, which is a problem that many parents encounter. In particular, children love watching cartoons. As we all know, if children watch TV for a long time, it will cause great harm to their eyes and will also affect their intellectual development, etc. Parents all know that they should not let their children watch TV for a long time, but this problem is very difficult to solve. Parents need to learn some scientific solutions and techniques.

What should I do if my child likes to watch TV?

1. Take your children out for more walks

Parents work during the day and children go to school during the day. After dinner, you can take your children out for a walk after they finish their homework. You can also take your children to play outdoors when you have nothing to do on weekends. This can not only distract children from watching TV, but also promote the relationship between children and parents, and make up for the time when everyone is busy with work and study and cannot accompany each other.

2. Parents should set a good example

Many parents turn on the TV and watch TV after dinner when they get home from work. When the children see their parents like this, they will definitely lose interest in studying. They can hear the sound of the TV while reading. Parents can turn off the TV, pick up some books, and read with their children when their children are studying. This will not only prevent the children from being distracted, but also help them develop a good habit of reading. In many cases, children should not only be limited to reading textbooks, but also read some books that they are interested in. This can broaden their horizons and enrich their minds.

3. Be appropriately strict and make some rules

If a child is addicted to TV, parents should educate him strictly and set a time for him to watch TV. It is difficult to correct this habit all at once, but you can do it slowly. The child will definitely thank his parents for their strictness in the future. Then take your child out for some fresh air when you have free time, this will be very effective.

4. Don’t always treat your child as a child

This means that parents should reason with their children, tell them that there are certain things they should do and certain things they should not do, and explain to them the dangers of doing certain things that should not be done, and the children will understand.

Editor's words:

In fact, children love to watch TV because their parents did not control them when they first watched TV, and the parents themselves did not set a good example and played with their mobile phones all day long. Children do not have mobile phones and can only watch TV. Parents can take their children out to participate in some outdoor activities to divert their attention and relax their eyes.
