Speaking of kids and television...

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I have to write an essay on the effects of kids watching too much tv, weight-wise...touching on obesity in children, and how to get them more active. I need 2 resources (at least). Any suggestions to a site? Or a book title I can request at the library? They don't have much there, so I'd have to get them to try and order something in, or else I'm stuck citing the internet. LOL!

Twin child scourges: obesity and television - The Boston Globe

TV Watching, Childhood Obesity Linked

http://www.kff.org/entmedia/upload/T...od-Obesity.pdf

CTV.ca | Kids' obesity linked to watching TV in new study

These came up on the first google of children television and obesity

and all could be valid sources - you don't have to quote " the internet" you can quote the actual source - and most of them reference medical publications... which are all found online...
