All of my three daughters (15,13 & 11) have TV's in thier bedrooms as well as games consoles & PC's. My oldest is a bookworm getting A grade GCSE's a year early, middle daughter does Gymnastics and dancing, middle & youngest do fencing. They all play 2 musical instruments, oldest at Grade 5/6. They all have friends and they all ride horses. (We keep them busy) They all get lots of homework.So ultimately, there is no real impact of having full on access to TV for kids unless they do nothing else. It depends how much time you give them to watch it. If they watch TV with me, its generally educational. E.g. The Atom mini series - brilliant!

I used to believe so. However, through the past few warmer months, I have cheerfully witnessed the local children playing cricket, skateboarding, and more out in the street each and every day.Of course, I'd much rather they use the local park which is literally a five minute walk away, but at least they were not camped in front of a television screen, having their minds rotted from the banal tripe that is fed to them.Now that it gets dark earlier, and the temperature has dropped, the children are no doubt stuck in front of the televisions again. However, I think, given the choice, many would rather not be. Parents often take that choice away.
