Given the noticeable effects

Given the noticeable effects, some immediate measures must be applied in order to combat the problem. One way is to encourage children to participate in some healthy leisure activities. For example, if children play sports such as soccer, basketball and baseball, they can build their body and develop team spirit. Clearly, participation in some sports activities is far more rewarding than sitting in front of the TV box or computer. Another way is that parents should assume the responsibility to limit their children's viewing hours and the hours they spend playing video games. Instead, parents can introduce some creative activities including painting, playing some musical instruments and joining some charity organizations. All of these can help children identify their interest and enrich their life experience.
