Baby watching TV hurt eyes? NO, that's what you didn't see right!
Recently, Xiaobian felt guilty for a misunderstanding. His 4-year-old son reads "My Little Pony" every day, and he never mentioned that it's a cartoon more suitable for girls. He eats, watches, and studies daily, even before going to bed, spending about 10 minutes on it. Coincidentally, Xiaobian recently came across an article titled “A 4-Year-Old Boy Became Cross-Eyed—How Harmful Is TV?†which caught his attention.
The story featured Ms. Li, who brought her 4-year-old son for medical treatment. After an examination, the child was found to have significant vision loss and obvious strabismus, requiring rehabilitation and correction. The boy had a habit of watching TV while lying on the couch. When drinking milk, he would also lie on the sofa and watch TV at the same time. Over time, this led to cross-eyedness!
After reading this, Xiaobian became worried. He realized how important it is to monitor his son’s eye health and wondered how many other children are in similar situations.
The American Academy of Pediatrics advises: Children under 2 should avoid watching TV as much as possible. However, completely isolating a child from television isn't practical. The key is for parents to know how to let their children engage with TV in a healthy way, choosing appropriate content that can benefit their brain development.
Xiaobian wants to ask all parents: Do you allow your child to watch TV like this? Let's look at some harmful habits:
**Long periods of TV watching**
Prolonged TV viewing can cause eye fatigue and may lead to myopia. Rapidly changing colors on the screen consume rhodopsin in the retina, worsening myopia over time.
**Frequent channel switching**
Children often switch channels out of curiosity. This can be harmful to their eyes. The sudden black screens followed by bright images during channel changes can irritate the eyes and cause strain.
**Watching TV in the dark**
Many parents turn off the lights to create a cozy atmosphere, not realizing it harms the eyes. In the dark, the TV screen emits strong light, causing eye fatigue and potentially damaging vision.
**Controlling TV habits starts with parents**
Xiaobian, like many parents, uses TV to keep kids entertained. While we know this can be harmful, it also affects social skills, attention, and expression. To prevent overindulgence, experts suggest:
- **Change the environment**: Avoid keeping the TV in the child’s room. Keep it fixed and limit its use.
- **Separate play and living areas**: Provide a dedicated space for children to play, reducing exposure to TV.
- **Use games to control screen time**: Use timers or “TV cards†to set limits and teach children about time management.
- **Watch together**: Engage in TV time with your child, discussing what they see to enhance understanding.
- **Choose educational content wisely**: Not all programs are beneficial. Interaction is better than passive watching.
- **Ensure proper distance and lighting**: Watch from a safe distance and under natural light.
- **Limit screen time**: No more than 20 minutes at a time, and no more than 2 hours per day.
- **Wash face after watching**: Reduce radiation and dust exposure.
- **Pick age-appropriate content**: Avoid scary or inappropriate material.
In the back of the house, there are many questions from parents about diaper training. Here are some answers:
**Why do children tend to wear diapers when it's cold?**
Cold weather increases metabolic waste. Water is excreted through urine, and less sweating means more urination. If children wear too many layers, it becomes harder for them to go to the bathroom, increasing the chance of accidents.
**How to avoid using diapers in fall and winter?**
Control water intake, especially when outdoors. Teach children to manage their own clothing and encourage independence.
