Effects of television viewing on children's development

J A Vessey et al. Pediatr Nurs. 1998 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Because television and its explicit and implicit messages are ubiquitous in our society, pediatric nurses need to be aware of the effects of inappropriate television viewing. This article reviews physical, cognitive, and psychological effects associated with inappropriate television viewing and suggests assessment procedures and interventions that can be used with families who want to change their pattern of television viewing.
