Healthtips - Excess of TV watching may cause health hazards in teens
It reveals that about 90 per cent of parents say TV programmes are getting worse every year because of derogative language and adult themes in shows that air from 1900 hrs to 2200 hrs.
About seven out of 10 parents said that they are ''very concerned'' about the amount of sexually explicit content their kids watch on TV.
On the other hand, 54 per cent (ages 12 to 18) of kids say they watch something different when they're alone than with their parents. Seventy-six per cent choose reality show which airs at prime time. According to a study, an adult who watches three hours of TV a day is far more likely to be obese than an adult who watches less than one hour.
The survey conducted by the industry body under its Social Development Foundation (SDF) involved more than 2,000 teenagers and 3,000 parents.
Major cities in which respondents were interviewed by Assocham-SDF include Delhi, Mumbai, GOA, Cochin, Chennai, Hyderabad, Indore, Patna, Pune, Chandigarh and Dehradun and it was observed that majority (52 per cent) of kids have a TV in their bedroom and 56 per cent of Indian homes have three or more TV sets which indicates the need of the family.
A majority of parents say they are "very" concerned about the amount of vulgar shows (71 per cent) and violence (58 per cent) their children are exposed to on TV. Nearly two-thirds of parents (63 per cent) say they favour new regulations to limit the amount of sex and violence in TV shows during the early evening hours, when children are most likely to be watching.
Most kids plug into the world of television long before they enter school, reveals the survey.
It also highlights that two-thirds of infants and toddlers watch screen an average of 2 hours a day, kids under age 6 watch an average of about 3-4 hours of screen media a day, primarily TVand videos or DVDs, kids and teens 8 to 18 years spend nearly 4-6 hours a day in front of a TV screen.
Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight, indicates the survey.
76 per cent of the parents say that some shows encourage kids (ages 4-8) to disrespect parents and who would like to limit their children's TV watching.
In the survey, 56 per cent of 4-6 year-olds who, when asked to choose between watching TV and spending time with their friends, preferred television.
''Excessive television viewing among children has been linked to a greater risk of obesity and violent behaviour. The survey also reveals that the long-term effects of television on academic achievement have been less clear,'' said , Assocham Secretary General D S Rawat.
Mr Rawat also said that the government should play a proactive role to come down heavily on the content of TV channels which is highly aggressive, violating and harmful for impressionable mind.
