Scenario 26
"Well, we decided not to make a big deal about designating parents as a
primary or secondary audience. Instead, we spent a lot of time talking about
potential behaviors to change.
You know? Between the literature search and the formative research, it looks
like we've got a pretty good list.
- Turn TV off during mealtimes.
- Watch less TV after school.
- Remove TV from all bedrooms.
- Monitor TV time.
- Limit TV time.
- Schedule TV shows to watch as a family.
- Serve or eat only healthy snacks while watching TV.
- Establish family rules for TV time.
- Schedule alternative family activities to replace TV watching.
Some of the planning committee members want to address all of the TV-related
behaviors we've discussed. Their thinking is that different behaviors will be
important to different families and by addressing all of them, we're providing
options. But, there are a couple of people (parents themselves) that keep
bringing up the point that asking parents to do all of these behaviors can be
overwhelming."
