In a KSPR Download segment we discussed televisions in the bedroom. A recent study found for teens a TV in bedroom could pose health risks outside the bedroom. Teen girls with one didn't get as much exercise in a week as those without one. As far as boys go, those with a bedroom television had a lower grade point average than the boys without one.

We wanted to know if you thought parents should allow their kids to have a television in their bedroom. We received a lot of mixed responses, but most people said it was okay for kids to have a bedroom TV.

What do you think? You can leave your thoughts below. Here are your Talk Backs...

“Why not i had one since i was a little kid.”

“I think as long as their grades are good and they learn to watch tv in moderation that it would be ok.”

“I guess so who am i to say? My kids have one in theirs but they would rather play outside.”

“It depends on the children. Some can have tv in room and not neglect their school work r chores.”

“Yeah, It gives me and the old lady time alone!” –Dave

“Yes because when their parents watching tv the kids can watch what they want.”

“Yes, my daughter has one in her room but I monitor what she watches and it does not come on until her homework is finished.” –Cathy, Buffalo

“Yes.”

“I let my son have a tv in his room, but I monitor what he watches and how much tv he watches. He is only six now and as he gets older I may have to remove it when it gets impossilbe to monitor him. We don't let him live in his room, but be a family.” –Cindy, Grovespring

“No. Tv already makes kids lazy. Why make it worse? With all the junk on tv it would make it hard to moniter.”

“Of course a kid should have a tv in their room. its not the the device thats bad but rather how the parent allows the device to be used. its time to start putting the blame where it belongs for the kids getting less exercise and not eating right and doing poorly in school and that blame is on the parent that is to lazy to enforce boundries. Nuff said.”

“My daughters had a tv in their bedroom growing up. It did not make them fat. Neither did it affect their grades as my youngest was an Honor Student. She is in College right now at Missouri State there in Springfield and a "B" student. The tv is not the problem. Door was always open so I could check to see what they were looking at. They knew if they looked at objectionable things, they would lose the tv for a time. It never caused either of my girls to have poor grades. My oldest has a very good paying job where she can move all over the country if need be by transferring within the company. She has good insurance too. So no - I disagree.” –Jane

“I agree with you kids should not be allowed to have TVs in their rooms! Teachers have enough problems keeping students interested without watching endless hours of TV!”
