How much TV is appropriate for children to watch?

As a general rule, children under 2 years should really not need to watch TV at all unless it is a program designed for their stage of development. Children aged 3-6 years may watch about 1 hour per day maximum, and for primary aged children, not more than about 1.5 hours per day maximum. Additionally, children in their early childhood years and primary years should not be exposed to any violent or aggressive programs.
