Experts from education, psychology, medicine and the media agree: the less television, the better! Because too much consumption and the wrong content can be harmful to development. Children who sit in front of the screen for too long are at risk of getting too little exercise, they play less outdoors in nature, less with other children, do less sports, maybe even eat too many unhealthy snacks on the side. Possible consequences include behavioral problems, obesity, sleep and concentration problems, and weaker performance at school.
