Cartoons are an inevitable part of every child’s life. Since the emergence of cartoon

films over a century ago, several generations of children have grown up watching

animated films. A multitude of girls have fantasized about being princesses and boys

have imagined themselves to be valiant knights after watching classic animated tales

like Peter Pan, Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, etc.

However, cartoons can have both positive and negative effects on the cognitive

development and behaviour of a child. This article tells you all about the effects of

cartoons on children and gives you tips on how to deal with its negative effects.

The obvious disadvantages of watching cartoons - children - addicted to watching

cartoons - can harm their health. because cartoons can make children addicted - the

songs found in cartoons - song creations that are easy to remember. Created works -

to repeat the same thing - like familiarity - something close to them. These things -

CONCLUSION

On the whole, cartoons that have been produced give more negative impacts than the

positive impact to childrens’ lifestyle. They can be very well concluded that under

the pretty cute and seemingly innocent characters with the stories of the cartoon

characters, there lies an ocean of hidden traits. There are social messages of gender

disparity, and social stereotyping. On one hand, cartoons help the children to learn,

enjoy and keep themselves entertained but can also lead them to be aggressive and

restless. Thus, children are not required to use their brains to think about how things

work or learning new words and also understanding the value things. Meanwhile,

cartoons should bring families together so that children are being challenged more and

have to use their minds to think and grow. In order to overcome this problem, all

parties especially parents and schools need to take effective measures because it is

very important to ensure a better life in the future for the children.
