Rutherford, Leonie Journal name Journal of paediatrics and child health Volume number 49 Issue number 2 Start page E108 End page E111 Total pages 4 Publisher Wiley - Blackwell Publishing Place of publication Chichester, England Publication date 2013-02 ISSN 1034-4810 1440-1754 Keyword(s) television screen time preschool children behaviour and health Summary Excessive television (TV) viewing in early childhood has been associated with adverse cognitive and behavioural outcomes.[1-3] A recent review of the literature revealed that TV viewing in the formative pre-school years has also been linked with other health concerns including sleep difficulties, increased aggression, anxiety and obesity.[4] Given that early childhood is the time in which the foundations for future behaviours and habits are established and evidence shows that TV behaviours track from early childhood to adolescence,[5] it is not surprising that there has been much interest in determining an ‘appropriate’ amount of screen time for pre-schoolers. The aim of this paper is to review current recommendations around Australian pre-school children's TV use and the implications of these guidelines when we consider current data pertaining to young children's TV viewing behaviour.
