Most parents I know worry about how much television their children are watching, but I see very little being done about actually cutting down their children's television time. The average child watches three to four hours of television a day and another two and a half hours more on the television watching movies or playing video games, for a total of six and a half hours of television a day, a little more than half of our children have a television in their bedrooms and three quarters of children eat their dinner in front of the television.
All of this television is taking time away from our children's lives, which could be replaced with more crucial and beneficial activities such as reading, exercising and playing with friends. Instead, Our children are seeing the wrong messages from the programs they are watching, including, sex, violence, drugs, racism, war, bad language and even suicide. That sometimes carry into their everyday lives. Our children are seeing all these adult images before they should.
In the world today, it can be said that watching television is also like watching violence. Violence already cannot be prevented on television programs that is why watching television is bad for children because it causes aggressiveness, trauma and desensitization. Television can have positive effects on children but a bigger chance of having negative effects. Television can negatively affect children’s performance in school, lifestyle, career, family and even their future. Would you want that to happen? Think about it.
