The Scientific American reported on a study published today in the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, by Leonard Epstein of the University at Buffalo, the State University of New York. The study revealed that a monitoring device cut TV watching and computer time in half thereby helping overweight children eat less and lose weight. The device gradually reduced the amount of time a young person could watch TV or be at their computer by 50% . The use of this device also reduced the amount of conflict between a parent and child once the initial decision was made to use it.
