During the month of April, the Oregon Nutrition Council encourages you to turn off the TV and find fun, family alternatives to screen time. Here are 5 easy suggestions they have to get your family off the couch a little more each day!
1. Be a good role model
Eat healthy food, be active, and limit how much TV you watch.
2. Choose when the television is on
Limit TV time and stick to it!
3. Keep TV’s out of kids’ bedrooms
It’s too hard to know what they’re watching and when it’s on.
4. Turn off the TV during meals
Focus meal time on talking with each other.
5. Get active!
Get your kids moving! Go for a walk, turn on the music and dance, give them
chores… the activities are endless!
How much TV should kids watch?
∙ 2 years and younger: none
∙ Older than 2 years: no more than 2 hours a day
