9 Ways to Grow Healthy Colorado Kids
Research shows too much “screen time” with television, video games, cell phones and other devices can lead to obesity and other health problems. TV advertising is loaded with commercials for sugary cereals, high-sugar energy drinks, candy, fast food and processed meals.
To stay healthy, turn off the TV and play together as a family.
• Allow no screen time for children under 2 years.
• Limit screen time for children 2 years and older to 2 hours a day.
• Make your children’s rooms “no screen zones” - they’ll sleep better.
• Turn off the TV when no one is watching it.
