| | How TV Affects Your Child |
 | | Of course, television, in moderation, can be a good thing: Preschoolers can get help learning the alphabet on public television, grade schoolers can learn about wildlife on nature shows, and parents can keep up with current events on the evening news. |
 | | That's why it's so important for you to monitor the content of TV programming and set viewing limits to ensure that your child doesn't spend time watching TV that should be spent on other activities, such as playing with friends, exercising, and reading. |
 | | Even though children are taught by their parents that it's not right to hit, television says it's OK to bite, hit, or kick if you're the good guy. |
