Childhood Exposure to Television

Excessive exposure to television when you are a child may have a negative impact on reading skills and behavior. Bar-on (2000) pointed out, "Americans and young people continue to have more opportunities to touch TVs than they spend in class: 15,000 hours, 12,000 hours after graduation" (p. 289). They are more sensitive to the behavior they see. The Pediatrics Association estimates that the time spent by two children in front of the screen every two hours is spent about 50 minutes in parental dialogue and the creative game time has been shortened by about 10%.

Mistry et al. (2007) Their research entitled 'Children's TV Exposure and Behavior and Social Achievements 5.5 Year: Exposure Time Is Important?', Infantile, simultaneous and ongoing TV exposure and behavior and The investigation relationship between social skills outcome is 5. 5 years. As a result, children who saw strict television only in early childhood showed that they do not have a consistent relationship with the outcome of behavioral or social skills. Simultaneous television exposure is associated with a decline in social skills, and continuous television viewing is associated with behavioral outcomes

Early exposure of the TV was related to attention problems. Every effort must be made to limit the viewing of television in infancy of too many TVs that can lead to hyperactivity and attention loss. To avoid this, limit the TV to less than an hour per day. Supervise the T.V plan

The relationship between children's TV watching and obesity and poor health during adulthood is not regulated by adult viewing. Even if you become an adult, the adverse health effects due to over looking at TV as a child are continuing. Attempts to alleviate the deterioration of adult obesity and health condition by changing the viewing habits of television must start from infancy

There is a connection between TV viewing time and the risk of obesity between children and adults. In one review, 86 out of 63 out of 73 (86%) found that the child's obesity rate increased with the exposure of the media and increased in proportion to watching TV. As with many other diseases, obesity is the result of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Various gene polymorphisms that control appetite and metabolism tend to cause obesity when there is sufficient food energy. As of 2006, more than 41 of these sites in the human genome were associated with the onset of obesity when there was an enabling environment. People with 2 copies of the FTO gene (fat and obesity related gene) have been found to have an average weight gain of 3-4 kg. This is 1.67 times bigger for people without risk alleles.
