BBC alerted the risk that the children watch the TV for a long time.

To watch the TV is not good for the eye, but also related to obese.
Obese is the main problem for present human. BBC said that 50% of men and 30% of women would be obese by 2025.

Recently, many children stay in front of the TV for a long time because of watching the movie or playing the game. As a result of it, the time they move is shorter and shorter.

The parents should concern about the time to watch the TV for their children's future.

Childhood 'screen time': Warning over TV and computers

Parents need to do more to stop children spending too much time watching television or playing computer games, according to a psychologist.

Dr Aric Sigman said "screen time" needed to have a daily limit in a similar vein to salt or alcohol intake.

He called for parents to "regain control" or they were risking a "form of benign neglect".

He will speak at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health's annual conference in Glasgow later.

Dr Sigman will argue that the amount of time spent in front of screens is at an all-time high - with children having access to an average of five screens in the home and often using more than one at once, such as a smartphone and the television.

This is linked to a sedentary lifestyle, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, he will say.

He will also raise concerns that it might be changing children's brains as they develop.
