It is tempting to allow our kids to watch TV all day long if it keeps them quiet, especially during rainy days when they can’t go outside and play their usual games. But, watching too much television increases obesity and reduces mental activity. There are other activities that young girls can do that encourage them to be more active, especially during bad weather. They can craft, paint, draw, and even put a LEGO project together. Watching TV is not terrible, but it’s the amount of time being spent not moving that needs to be monitored.
