 TV is Bad for Children

Television plays very important role in our lives, and it is also main source of entertainment.
We watch TV whenever we are free, or sometimes while working, and learn many things
from it. As the TV is used in our daily life, it broadcasts many live events and news which
educate us in many ways. But, sometimes children watch those programs on TV which
should not meant to be viewed by child's age group and have many negative impacts on their
lives.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids under 2 years old not
watch any TV and that those older than 2 watch no more than 1 to 2 hours a day. The first 2
years of life are considered a critical time for brain development. TV and other electronic
media can get in the way of exploring, playing, and interacting with parents and others, which
encourages learning and healthy physical and social development. As kids get older, too
much screen time can interfere with activities such as being physically active, reading, doing
homework, playing with friends, and spending time with family.

I believe that many children who watch TV for long hours, have many negative impacts on
their health such as they may weak their eye-sight at young age. In fact, these children should
spend most of their time playing and studying, which would give them better result later and
keep them healthy as well. If these children keep wasting their precious time watching TV for
long hours instead studying, it may affect their school result.

Many children tend to follow their favorite actors or actress and imitate them by wearing
same cloths, following same attitude and try to speak same languages. This becomes worse
when they watch any action movies and perform same actions at home, which might injure
them or change their behavior toward other people. 

Television indeed can be a media to entertain and to teach children something. However,
programs in TV are not designed for children only; they also include some programs for
adult. Watching TV too much could make children following some clothes, attitudes, and
language which may be bad for them. Too much watching TV also will weaken children
eyes. Thus, watching TV too much is bad for children.
