GIFT FROM THE FOODIE FRIDAY
REPORTER, JAI, TO THE LADIES,
KRISTINE AND KELLY.
Kristine: BIG THUMBS UP.
DR. WEE JOINS US.
KEEPING YOUR CHILD FIT AND
HEALTHY TAKES EFFORT.
NOT JUST INSIDE THE KITCHEN BUT
ALL TIMES.
WHAT ARE GOOD TIPS FOR PARENTS?
IS TV TIME BAD FOR THEM?
LONG TIME PEDIATRICIAN
GOOD MORNING.
THANK YOU.
WELCOME.
GOOD MORNING.
Kristine: GOOD MORNING.
WE TALKED A LITTLE ABOUT THESE
NUMBERS.
5, 2, 1, 0 BEFORE.
CAN WE TALKING ABOUT THAT AND
WHY THE NUMBERS ARE SO
IMPORTANT?
HAWAI'I HAWAI'I 5, 2, 1, 0.
FIVE HOURS OF FRUITS OR
VEGETABLES.
TWO HOURS TV SCREEN TIME.
ONE HUNDRED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
FIT AND DO WHAT THEY LOVE, WHICH
IS, THEY LIKE TO BE IN FRONT OF
THE SCREEN.
IS THAT OKAY?
DIGITAL SCREEN IS GOING TO BE
EVERYWHERE.
I TELL PARENTS FROM THE
BEGINNING TO START TO HAVE THAT
TALK WITH THEM.
THERE ARE BENEFITS OF DIGITAL
SCREEN TIME.
FOR EXAMPLE, FACETIME, SKYPE
WITH GRANDMA AND GRANDPA.
WE CAN ALSO UTILIZE SCREEN TIME
FOR HOMEWORK AND LEARNING.
HOWEVER, THE ACADEMY OF
PEDIATRICS RECOMMENDS 0 SCREEN
Kristine: NO SCREEN TIME.
TWO TO FIVE YEARS, ONE HOUR
OF SCREEN TIME.
FOR CHILDREN FIVE AND OLDER,
PARENTS MUST BY THE DIGITAL
WATCHING.
WATCHING THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS,
THEY'RE WATCHING MOM AND DAD.
HOW CAN WE BE GOOD ROLE MODELS
FOR CHILDREN?
SO CHILDREN ARE GOING TO
FOLLOW WHAT YOU DO, NOT WHAT YOU
SAY.
I TELL PARENTS AS A FAMILY, THEY
NEED TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE A
DIGITAL MEDIA PLAN.
THEY NEED TO SAY, WE HAVE A
DIGITAL-FREE TIME.
DINNER SHOULD BE FREE OF SCREENS
AND DRIVING TIME SHOULD BE FREE
OF -- IN-HOUSE TV PLAYERS.
WE SHOULD ALSO HAVE DIGITAL-FREE
AREAS SUCHS AT BEDROOM AND
DINING ROOM TABLE.
YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER NOT TO HAVE
TV AS A BACKGROUND.
CHILDREN UNDER TWO YEARS, THEIR
BRAINS ARE DEVELOPING SO RAPIDLY
THEY NEED ALL THEIR FIVE SENSES.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT LEARNING
IS NOT OPTIMAL BY SITTING THEM
A PLAN AND LAY OUT THE RULES.
KIDS ARE GOOD.
THEY CAN FOLLOW DIRECTION AND
THEY NEED THAT STRUCTURE.
RIGHT.
YOU WANT TO START WHEN THEY'RE
YOUNG SO THEY'RE USED TO THAT.
AND SOMETIMES WE JUST HAVE TO BE
REMINDED.
I TELL PARENTS TO MAYBE MONITOR
THE MOVIES THEY'RE WATCHING.
THE OTHER THING THAT ALSO
HARMSES CHILDREN ARE THE
ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE ADVERTISEMENTS CONTAIN A LOT
OF INFORMATION THAT PROMOTES
SUGARY DRINKS AND FATTY FOODS.
Kristine: BEFORE WE GO, I
DO WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE ABOUT
DR. WEE'S GREAT PROGRAM.
YOU REALLY LIVE ABOUT EATING
HEALTHY AND GETTING KIDS IN
SHAPE AND BABY STEPS.
GOOD APPROACH.
DOC.
EVERY SATURDAY SHE'S OUT THERE
AT CENTRAL OAHU REGIONAL PARK IN
WHY
WAIPIO.
SHE INVITES EVERYBODY.

YOU CAN WALK WITH DR. WEE.
DO LIGHT STRETCHING.
FOR 50 MINUTES YOU WALK, RAIN OR
SHINE.
