Parents of children with speech problems will be notified. There is no charge for this screening service. It is part of our package of school services provided by Jewish Family Services, which also includes a social worker twice weekly. Studies have consistently shown the detrimental effects of even non-violent shows on the minds of children. Children who watch television lose valuable time that could be better used to develop or create their own thought processes and interpersonal relationships.
Television watching creates a shorter attention span.
We urge parents to provide our children with activities other than television. Such viewing is detrimental to children s growth. Without parents written consent, children will not be permitted to participate.
