Dear Barb, y young children :k watch a lot of TV. I'm con- cerned about their weight. Is there any correla- tion between them watching TV and weight gain? Thanks, Laurie. A friWQ r: Dear Laurie, You are right to be concerned. A number of studies have shown that, un- doubtedly, there is a correlation between overweight children/ado- lescents and the amount of time they spend in front of a screen watching TV/dvd's, playing video games, and spending time on the internet. If you've been a regular reader of this column, you know that excessive childhood and adolescent weight gain can have very serious health consequences that extend t'fi'i 1 through adulthood. The American Academy of Pediatrics makes the \ following recommenda- • ) tons (among others): • Set limits. Limit your children's use of TV, . movies, and video/com- puter games to no more than 1 or 2 hours per day. Do not let your children watch TV while doing homework. Do not put a TV in your children's bedrooms. • Give other options. Help children find other things to do like play- ing; reading; learning a hobby, a sport, an instrument, or an art; or spending time with family, friends, or neighbors. t Harry Potter producer makes Shoah film.
