In general, children reported low restriction and high allowance
towards television viewing. Since recent research shows that
parental restriction is related to lower screen time [55], future
interventions should target parents. On the other hand, it may be
that parents start setting rules if their children watch too much
television, and therefore our cross-sectional observation of the low
restriction does not reflect actual television viewing [2]. While it
may also be that parents do not like to set restricting rules as they
prefer watching together rather them limiting TV time of their
children. Interventions should therefore address parents and
children and make both aware of the potential unhealthy effects
of high TV time. Furthermore, the questions only addressed TV
viewing, which is just one major screen activity and children may
have different believes or may experience different rules regarding
other screen activities, such as computer gaming or tablet use.
