Kids Show Bad Habits While Watching TV

 No kid looks good without their mischievous and naughty nature, but being parents we should stay conscious about differentiating their kid's behaviors and bad habits. You know, in a recent study a group of American behavioral psychologist has revealed that 80% of the children possess some bad habits and 45% among them grow up with these which eventually hamper their adult life.


After ice-cream and video games, I think TV is the 3rd most favorite entertainment for kid’s. And recently I have noticed some very common bad habits they show while watching TV. Here, in this blogpost, I will share some of these with you.
 

Watching TV for too long: You just tune the channel to Cartoon Network or VH1 and see them; they will not leave the couch for at least an hour or more. Sitting at a stretch for a long time in front of TV can make the nervous system and body tired and it does hinder a kid’s study and other activities. So you should limit the period to 30-40minutes max.


Crank up the sound: Yes, this is another bad habit most of the kids show while watching TV, especially watching an action movie or cartoon. But you know, being too loud can weaken the auditory perception, even a permanent basis. So don’t let your kids operate the TV remote and play with the volume level.


Sitting close to TV set: They simply don’t care about the eye discomfort or headache. When their favorite cartoon or an action series is running they will choose the closest seat near the TV. The result – children will lose their vision gradually and, at an early age, spectacles will be their support to see the world. So you need to make the sitting arrangement at least 2.5 – 4 yards away from the television set.


Bad sitting posture: Children prefer watching TV while being a couch potato, while leaning or sitting leisurely. Such postures may lead to muscle aches and pains.


So you are advised to keep your eyes on your kids while they gape at the TV.  Your negligence can lead your kids to serious physical or psychological problems in their future life.
