Guidelines to Protect Your
Children from the Dangers of TV
The following guidelines will be very
useful in protecting your children
from the dangers mentioned above:
1. It is recommended that children
not watch TV more than one
hour, at the most, each day.
2. Do not permit children to have a
personal TV in their room; you cannot
monitor what they watch when they
are isolated from your supervision.
3. Do not allow children to watch TV at
meal times. Parents and youngsters
should engage in meaningful
conversation that builds up family
togetherness at these times.
4. Do not allow your children to watch
TV if they have failed to do their
homework (either their school lessons
or their preparation for Bible classes).
5. Do not permit your youngsters
to spend hours playing video
games. These will take their toll
on their reasoning skills.
6. Do not allow your children to
watch TV without monitoring what
they are watching. TV, these days,
overflows with graphic lewdness
and undisguised propaganda, the
design of which is to break down
moral barriers. Remember, the
crop “harvested” will be the results
of the “seed” that is sown, and
your child’s mind is the “field”.
