Answers:
Hi honey, too much TV is not good for your health!. It adversely affects the brain and the body!. Does your sister like using the computer!?
She could spend some time doing more useful things on there!. Think of something you can both do together, like crafts, art or games!. Does she like singing or dancing, most youngsters like to perform for friends and family!. Ask her to entertain you!. Her brain needs some stimulation before it gels in front of that box!.

Like I've said in most of my other answers on here!. EVERYTHING IN MODERATION!.!.!.NOTHING IN EXCESS!. It can be applied to everything in life!. BALANCE is the key!. I am surprised that your mum doesn't really mind that your sister is glued to the TV when she can be encouraged to partake in other activities!.
Well done to you for acting responsibly and showing that you care!. I,m sure one day you will be a good parent!.

Best of luck x

Let us clarify something here: she is your sister!. She is not your daughter!. Her parent allows her to watch television, and in fact has told you to leave the child alone!. You can't stop her!. You have absolutely no say!. If you and she are talking, you can share with her your opinions about tv watching and other, more fun activities!. You can try to engage her in other activities - take her places, give her interesting books, get her into some crafts or sports!. But you can't force her to stop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The T!.V!. is used by government, corporations, and athiests to corrupt people and put them into groupthink!.

The Unions use television to make you anti religious (Republicans are religious), Union Democrats promote athiesm!.

But you are not her mom you are her sister and your mom does not seem to care that she is watching it so i would just leave her alone about it don't stress yourself on it Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take her to a craft store and find something to make together!.
Go to the park!.
Go to the library!.

There are a lot of beading projects at the craft store that are fun - she could make her own jewelry!.
