Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Limiting total viewing time and scheduling what is viewed can help reduce the negative effects of television on children. Allowing children to select their own programs may not always lead to appropriate choices, and ignoring or discounting real depictions of violence on TV can lead to desensitization to violent behavior.
