Television is a bad influence on children

 In view of related study in psychological effect of television in youngster, may I share this testimony to discourage parents to limit their children exposure in the idiot box.

According to a study, children who spend more time in television create a slight difference in behavior and personal growth compare to those children who minimally watch the television whether attended and unattended by guardians. 

We shall admit that television is one of the tri-media—comprises of radio, television and print—which highly influence not just the older people, but also children specifically.  Television has advantages and disadvantages to the younger viewer for which later I will unveil. 

Nowadays, parents are very confident and lax on leaving their children lone on the television even if the movie or tv show is inappropriate to watch.  Even in the lightest part of the show, children can easily imitate good and bad show in a television show.

The advantages of television through media broadcasting can be discussed in the succeeding explanations:   children mostly imitate their educational show or presentation which contribute to the enhancement of their cognitive skills, language and interaction; children is also motivated to learn on their favorite shows; and children learn to be consciously inclined to news reports and its contribution to the awareness in current events. 

The disadvantages:  children usually views some violent, sexual, lewd and dreadful show that corrupt their personal and emotional growth. Some juvenile have become exposed to premarital sex and other early vices just because their idol drinks and smokes in the television.  In addition, experts say that mere exposure in a television can have a psychological effect—either good or bad effect—to children.

Thus, most countries are now limiting broadcasting of violence and pornographic materials in movies, television and periodicals through strict implementation and proper regulation of related law and imposition of penalty to those who will be found liable or guilty for such violation in media.
