My Research plan How much is too much, eh?

Contents  My study and significance  How much is too much? A three page study  Accelerometers and exercise  Oh, our poor children! Telling us why we should care  How and Who?  Links

What is my research study you ask?  I have decided to study what is the best way for parents to stop their children from spending too much time on websites that are not educational on their computer without them getting angry at their parents for not letting them use their computer for as long as they want.

You might ask, “How will this help?” (Though you are most likely not too.)  Well, my next few slides will explain this along with another point.

So, how much is too much? A three page report.  The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting a child's use of TV, movies, video and computer games to no more than one or two hours a day. Too much screen time has been linked with  Obesity. Children who watch more than two hours of TV a day are more likely to be overweight.  Irregular sleep. The more TV children watch, the more likely they are to resist going to bed and to have trouble falling asleep.

Page two (I did say three page)  Behavioral problems. Elementary students who spend more than two hours a day watching TV or using a computer are more likely to have emotional, social and attention problems. Exposure to video games also increases the risk of attention problems in children. Children who watch excessive amounts of TV are more likely to bully than children who don't.  Impaired academic performance. Elementary students who have TVs in their bedrooms tend to perform worse on tests than those who don't.

Page three (I am not a liar.)  Violence. Too much exposure to violence on TV and in movies, music videos, and video and computer games can desensitize children to violence. As a result, children may learn to accept violent behavior as a normal part of life and a way to solve problems.  Less time for play. Excessive screen time leaves less time for active, creative play.

So…  As a conclusion, too much is roughly two hours.  Affects of having too much computer or television time could affect children severely.

Okay, that said, I thought exercise would make up for that? Since you seem to think it might cause obesity and whatnot.  To find out, Angie Page (at the University of Bristol's centre for exercise, nutrition and health sciences, UK) and her colleagues asked 1013 children aged 10 and 11 to wear accelerometers for seven days, to measure how much they moved, and also questioned them about their TV viewing and use of computers, excluding what they did for school and homework.Angie Page

So, did the accelerometers help?  Exercise didn't help much. The accelerometers revealed that even if children did an hour or more of exercise a day, and the exercise was probably vigorous enough to make them out of breath, those who also watched TV or played on their computers for at least 2 hours daily were still 54 per cent and 48 per cent more likely, respectively, to have psychological problems.

But wait, there’s more! WHAT?

Oh, our poor children!  Children who watched TV for an average of 2 hours or more per day were 61 percent more likely to have emotional, social and concentration problems, measured using a standard test of children's psychological well-being. The equivalent figure for 2 hours or more of computer-based entertainment – primarily computer games – was 59 per cent.standard test of children's psychological well-being

Not to mention that…  According to “Thoughtful India”(A news website), 90% of Asian children wear spectacles because of too much near work! How’s that for trivia?

How can you find out the needed information?  Well, I plan to conduct surveys, interviews and experiments to obtain the information I need.

Fine. Who are you going to conduct your fanciful surveys and interviews too?  The subjects of my study are parents or guardians with children who have two or more hours of computer time per day.  (Or fourteen or more hours per week.)

I have come to the end of my presentation I hope you enjoyed it.
