"A recent survey revealed that preschoolers watch an average of 23.5 hours a week. In other words, 'look ing' takes up the equivalent of three adult working days," Straatman says. Television is influencing our children as much as parents and schools and far more than church. Public pressure has moder ated the amount of violence on TV during family viewing hours but other worrisome TV habits must be monitored by parents. "Heavy TV viewing re moves children from direct real-life experiences that are essential for intellectual, so cial and physical develop ment." Straatman explains.

The second suggestion was to allow geology and chemis Irv instructor Stan Prowant to return to school to update his restlessness, decreases imag inative play, lowers compre hension and interferes with social and communicative activities." For many. TV has become the major shaper of their view of the world and how they should act in that world No wonder it is often referred to as the "flickering blue parent." "It's hard to say how much TV is too much, but when it crowds out running and jump ing out doors, reading or being read to, homework, chores, playing with others, doing things with the family, hob bies, or sleeping, it is too much the specialist says. "Although 98 percent of homes in the U.S. have TV, parents are not defenseless against its intrusion," says Straatman.

"Teamwork is the most effective method for family control of viewing," says Straatman. "Begin with selec tive viewing," Parents and children can decide which shows will be watched together. This can be done on a day to day basis for small children and on a week to week basis for older ones. When the show is over, turn off the set. Be prepared to suggest other activities to follow such as outdoor play, snack time, play time or study time. Adults are needed to help children interpret what they are viewing. Four or five year old youngsters have little ability to seperate fact from fantasy or the subtle mean ings of the behavior they view. They use wrds heard on TV programs without the vaguest idea of the meaning. Adults react to most TV content with silence. Children have no way of knowing whether behavior is accept able or unacceptable unless parents speak up about the scenes that are in opposition to their values and applaud or voice approval those they do approve. Children learn their values and behavior through imita tion of what they see and hear. "Parental Guidance" means that adults should be present to help children determine actions that are acceptable in their family and in the world beyond. "Is it alright for children to have a TV in their bedroom?" one mother asked. "Would you put a refrigerator full of food in their bedroom and allow them to eat any amount and type of food they wanted without your supervision?" Straatman replies. We pay close attention to guiding our children's habits and must learn to take the same responsibility for their TV intake. fi '4
