Using a device that limits computer and TV time might help your child lose weight, according to a new study from the University at Buffalo in N.Y.Dr. Leonard Epstein, a professor of pediatrics, studied 70 overweight children who watched TV and played video games at least 14 hours a week. He gave a monitoring device to half of their parents in order to gradually reduce "screen time" by 50 percent. The group with the monitors lost more weight compared to the control group.This study appears in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.
