The Nielsen Company did a study that showed children ages 2 to 5 watch more than 32 hours of television each week.  Children 6-11 watch more than 28 hours of television a week.  The reason they watch less is because they are in school.  This is the most television watching since 1995.  How much time do your children spend in front of the television?
