Tips for Balancing Television Exposure
to Avoid ADD or ADHD
Your child doesn't need to lead a
completely television-free existence for
the rest of his life, but you do need to
monitor the hours he consumes for
television each day to decrease chances of
ADD or ADHD from occurring.
Doctors agree in saying that television
exposure is not beneficial for children
below two years old. In this phase of your
child's life, he should focus on
developing and honing his physical and
mental abilities, both of which could be
greatly hampered by early television
exposure.
Do not use the television set as a
substitute nanny. Television may keep your
child still and safe within your house for
long hours, but it's doing him more harm
than good. If you don't have time to
entertain or take care of him, hire a real
nanny who could entertain your child by
reading books, playing interactive
academic games, and various hobbies and
craft activities.
You can start letting your child watch
television between ages three and five. In
fact, television exposure at this age can
lead to improved scholastic performance,
provided you let him watch the right
programs of course.
Be aware of what your child is watching
on television. While most parents
categorize programs according to content
and value, you should also consider the
show's editing and pacing. Sometimes,
television shows are made of incredibly
fast edits and scene progression that your
child ends up focusing completely on the
show. It doesn't mean he understands
everything, but it definitely holds his
attention.
This process is called orienting
reflex, and it could make your child
become impatient, bored, and frustrated
when they are confronted by inevitable
delays in the real world.
Thus, it's important to exert your
control and authority early on as regard
to what and when your child should watch
television. Avoid letting him watch
programs that are not only violent in
nature but also uses too much orienting
reflex in their editing.
Last and most importantly of all, spend
quality time with your child so he won't
need to resort to the television for
entertainment all the time. Constantly
test and hone his attention and focus
skills through games and teach him the
importance of interaction with other kids.
This way, television won't cause ADD or
ADHD to develop.
