Tips for helping children with the media

Moderation
  • Make sure the television is not constantly on
  • Watch by the show, not by the hour
  • Set limits (how much television a child can watch per day)
Participation
  • Sit down and watch/read with your children
  • Encourages dialogue between parent and child
Monitoring
  • Know what your children are watching/reading
  • Have internet connected computers in a public place of the house

What ideas do you have, or what have you done to facilitate better involvement between you and your children and the media they consume?
