My children are becoming addicted to TV. How long should they be allowed to watch each day. They have homework and chores to do. They love reality TV.

Each day is good but some hours should fix in a day. Otherwise eyes problem, head problem, study problem may arise. Only 2 to 3 hours is sufficient because study is more important than or watching TV.

As much as possible, children should watch TV at less period of time only as their eyes might get affected. They should be educated to rest for a period of time, so they're eyes wont easily get soared. And if they dont wanna wear eye glasses when they are old.

my eldest son loves watching cartoon, I allow him watching his fave after he's done with his homework, usually it will take an hour a day, then he'll have to sleep, During Saturdays, if he does not have a baseball practice at school, I allow him any time of the day, but not continuously. Watching too much television will affect their studies :)
