Television shows are impacting your child’s daily life   by S K Dayal07

Television is one of the prominent media which has a great influence on children. According to a survey it came to light that almost 75% of children watch TV as a pastime. The degree of the impact of TV depend on various factors like how much they watch, their age and personality , they watch alone or with adults, and whether their parents discuss with them about what they like to watch on TV. It’s important to understand the impact of television on children to lessen the negative effects of television. It has been observed that the programs that are violent on TV affect the children the most. Parents should also take care of what their children watch in the news because studies have shown that kids are more scared of violence in news coverage than in any other media content.

Television affects the child’s learning and school performance if it is entertained in crucial time like the time which is important for healthy mental and physical development. During the formative years of child especially at their leisure time, they should be engaged in activities such as playing, reading, exploring nature, learning about music or participating in sports. Watching TV is a sedentary activity, and has been proven as a great factor in childhood obesity. There is a big reason behind television addiction that why children and adults find it difficult to turn off their TV. According to researchers, viewers feel relaxed when they start to watch TV but that feeling go away when they immediately turn off the TV. Television give rise to obesity of children as it advertise junk food.
According to the Canadian Paediatric Society, most food advertising on children’s TV shows is for fast foods, candy and pre-sweetened cereals. Commercials for healthy food items contribute only 4 percent. Today kids are shown obscene messages and images in the media right from the television, magazines, advertisements, music, movies to the Internet. Parents wonder whether television is a powerful medium for educating the young people about the responsibilities and physical behavior because these types of issues are rarely dealt in a meaningful way in programs including content.

Television is one of the most ordinary electrical gadgets in our homes and everybody enjoys watching it. Studies showed that children are highly frequent viewers of television. Young children spend between 3 and 4 hours watching television each day. Small kids don’t understand what they watch on television. Children should know to differentiate between fantasy and reality. Little kids believe that TV images are real but when they enter into the age of 2 and 3 they come to understand that the characters and objects they see on TV are not actually present inside the set. As kids grow in their cognitive skills continue to improve, their ability to distinguish fantasy from reality improves as well. When they get older, children understand that shows are made up, scripted and rehearsed. The impact of violence in television can be diminished by helping young children differentiate between what they watch in Television and reality. It is also our responsibility to inform them that television is an unrealistic depiction of the real world.
