Today there are many children that spend too much time watching television. Children spend all their time watching unnecessary television shows, that fills their head with nonsense. Children today believe everything that they see or hear on TV. Television plays a big role on some of the serious things that happen between siblings. Wrestling is one of the TV shows that is dangerous for young children to watch. Children watch this show and they repeat the things they've seen the professional wrestlers do. "Kids who view violent acts are more likely to show aggressive behavior but also fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them" (www.kidshealth.org).
Television can be good for children. There are shows that teach children to count, their alphabets, colors, shapes, different animals, etc. It's just too much TV time that affects the brain of our young children. When children just sit in front of the television and watch TV for hours, they become nonactive. They don't want to do too much of anything, like go play with friends, go out with family, etc. That causes a overweight problem with the young children today. " A great deal is known about children and television, because there has been thousands of studies on the subject. Researchers have studied how TV affects kids' sleep, weight, grades, behavior, and more" (www.med.umich.edu).
So what should young children today really be doing? They should be active, out playing with friends, enjoying life. They should not be believing that television is the answer to everything. In order for this to happen parents need to take charge and manage how much TV time their children get.
