From the fact that American children spend an average of 21 hours and 42 minutes watching television per week. Surprisingly, it shows that childrend watch television about 3 hours per day. How they manage their time to do anything eles? Although, it is the popular activity to do at home, but it has many bad effects to their health and behaviour. Therefore parents must not install a televistion in the children's bedroom in order to reduce spending time on watching TV.
Today, many children have TV on their bedrooms. When they are in their private room, they can do anything that they want. If TV is installed in the bedrooom, they can watch it all the time. TV can be just as addictive as any substance. No matter it is interested or not.
It is a good idea to move TV out of their bedroom and install it only in the living room. Firstly, parents can control the amount of time which thier children should spend on it. For example, parent can fix the schedule of watching TV at 7pm to 9pm after they finish the homework. Secondly, children cannot spend excessive time on TV and don't become addict because they cannot have a chance to watch alone at night. Moreover, it will encourage them to do other activities besides wasting time in their bedroom because they don't have thier own TV and need to join with thier parents.

Does TV have bad effects on children's health and behaviour? I agree that it is better to do other things, almost anything, than watch TV, and news shows are particularly useless things to watch, but I'm not sure that TV is as harmful as many people believe. For example, does frequently watching TV result in lower school grades? (I already know the answer to this question, but it seems like the sort of fact that is relevant here.) What is the answer? Do children who frequently watch TV, say for a 2 - 3 hours a day, everyday, tend to get lower school grades than kids that don't?
ReplyDeleteI think your solution for this problem will not work at all. I have a cousin, she really likes watching TV since she was young until now. She has got a TV in her bedroom and another TV in living room but she doesn't like to watch the TV in her room, She always watches the TV in the livingroom even though it could make her parent angry many times. one good thing is she is a good student in school and always get good grades.
ReplyDeleteI agree that children shouldn't watch TV too much but instead of hiding the TV from them, parents should lead their children to other social activities
