Kids weight and TV

Here’s more proof watching too much TV affects a child’s weight.

Researchers surveyed parents on their child’s TV habits at age two and again at four-and-a-half.

They measured the child’s weight and their ability to jump a long distance.

They found the more TV the children had watched as they grew up, the shorter the distance they were able to jump, and the bigger their waist was.
