To stint children on watching TV

[Yaroslava]

Is it correct saying: "You need to stint your children on watching TV, this activity damages their eyes, if it drags on long"?

If you're asking about the phrase "to stint children," then, no. I wouldn't understand what you meant.

So, how to express it in a right way?

First off, "stint" is a very specialized verb and I would avoid trying to use it.

"You need to cut down on your children's TV time. If nothing else it's bad for their eyes! (Of course, it's not their eyes. it's their brains we worry about.)
