Catherine

Television can be a way of learning and relaxing. But studies show that too much television can make kids more likely (可能的) to be fat and fight with others.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP，美國(guó)兒科學(xué)會(huì)) says that older kids shouldn’t watch more than 1-2 hours of television every day, and that kids under the age of two should not watch any television. The shows kids watch should be educational. All in all, kids shouldn’t watch too much television. You should ask them to spend more time playing with friends, exercising or reading.
