BabyTV Presents Parenting Guidebook

LONDON: BabyTV and the Hong Kong Bureau of Education (EDB) have launched a guidebook designed to help parents make better media choices for their children, and encourage them to maximize the benefits of children’s TV and media use.

Growing Together: Making the Most of TV for Toddlers was created following a survey carried out in Hong Kong by BabyTV that explored the media habits and concerns of local parents. The guidebook presents a step-by-step approach to choosing toddler TV content, practical tips for parents to enhance the benefits of their child’s media use and offers a guide on viewing times. The EDB will distribute the guidebook to all kindergartens from Jan 8, 2010 onwards. As a second stage, the EDB will encourage parents to pick up the book from EDB locations around Hong Kong.
