How much television can my children watch if I want them to be healthy?
Children should not spend more than two hours a day using any electronic entertainment, including computer games, TV or the internet.
Try to keep TV time and meal times separate and avoid having a TV in bedrooms.
Get active outside instead:
- Walk the dog
- Walk to a local park and play on the equipment
- Go for a bike ride
- Get a skipping rope
- Buy some chalk and play hopscotch
- Play cricket, football, soccer, basketball, or netball
- Kick or throw a ball around
- Play tag
