The more meaningful and understandable a rule is for a child, the more likely it will work. Keep television out of your child's bedroom. The best place is the family room. Watch television together as a family when you can. Talk about what your child sees on the television.
Parents are role models for their children.
So refrain from making television your prime source of recreation. This will encourage your child to look for other options rather than watch television for recreation. Remember, choose toys that promote creativity. Help your child understand a true meaning of hero-that the real heroes are those who work hard and make a world a better place for example, parents, teachers, doctors, firefighters, etc. are real heroes. Interact with your child's teacher.
