Don't worry be relaxed: T.V , is a very important and effective source of entertainment and knowledge. Besides giving some moments of happiness and fun, T.V also makes your child aware and smart about the world he is living in. So, don't fret if your child indulges in healthy T.V watching.

Guide him about the kind of programmes: Don't impose regulations on your child saying `Don't watch this'. It'll only rouse his curiosity Some times exposure is healthy to make the child understand the nitty gritties of growing up. At the same time be firm when the programme is not suitable for his age or is full of violence for it can make him aggressive or even develop phobias.

Let him not miss all the fun of growing up: Over indulgence in T.V leaves the child with no time or inclination to do anything else like going out to play with friends or read books or get engaged in some creative activity In absence of social interaction, children tend to develop introvert personalities.

Show him other alternatives of fun like take him to the park where he can play on swings; help to form a group of friends. A hobby class of music, dance or painting can channelise his energy in just the right direction.

Maintain a balance between entertainment and information: When your child loves to watch Cartoon Network or Disney channel, make sure you steer him towards programmes which enhance his knowledge like National Geographic channel, Discovery channel, quiz programmes etc.
