Kids’ TV Watching Reflects Parents’ Habits

If you watch a lot of TV, your kids will, too. That’s the main finding of a study published July 15. Researchers surveyed 1,550 parents with children up to 17 years old. They also surveyed their 629 older children who were ages 12 through 17. Generally, the study found that children watched more TV if their parents did. The journal Pediatrics published the study online. HealthDay News wrote about it July 15.
