Gifted Parenting - April 2008

In the News...

April 7th 2008 23:15

Does your child have a TV in his/her bedroom? A new study conducted by the University of Minnesota School of Public Health revealed that teenagers who have televisions in their bedrooms aren't as healthy or smart as those who don't.

My daughter has a TV in her bedroom but she's always been a straight-A student. I guess this study doesn't apply to her because she belongs to a younger age group.

What do you think of this study?

I am an older adolescent who does well in school despite having a TV in my room. With that said however, I do not watch it much, only using it in the mornings to find out what the weather is like and in the afternoon sometimes if a show I like is on.

In regards to healthy eating, my eating patterns tend to revolve around the school year with me eating healthy around the holidays and eating junk around exams.

So I'd say I would disagree with the study, lol.

Hi Hope,

My kids aren't teenagers yet, but it's interesting to think about.

Love & stuff
