Is watching TV bad for children?. Today, when I came back home, my 5-years-old niece was eager me to buy a toy for her. I asked her where she knew this toy, she responded quickly, “From the TV.” Then, I asked my niece ”have you finished your homework?” My niece answered “No, uncle. But I will finish them after watching cartoon.” TV , TV--- all I heard from my niece is TV which has occupied my little niece’ whole life. She can stare at TV for long hours without a break. I have to admit TV has exerted negative effect on my niece.
First, there are many advertisements on television. A number of business company pay a deal of ad budget on TV and try to appeal people, especially children’s attention. It’s hard to resist to amusing ad, namely, Betty doll’s charming, sweet candy and ice cream for children. Once children gain the information of these food and toys through TV, they will ask their parents to buy for them. That will bring much burden for children’s parents. If they agree to meet their need, they have to pay much. If not, children will constantly glue to them even cry to ask. Second, TV will result in children’s less thinking and reading. According to scientists’ research, the more hours people watch TV, the less intelligent the people are. The research shows, people accepting information sent by TV is not subjective. They pay more attention to watch and hear, less to think and image them so that their brain will be slow. In the childhood, it’s good choice for children to practice their brain and imagination. So, as a parent, we’d rather spare time with children to read books together than let them alone watch TV, for it’s more beneficial to children’s growing up. Third, children will develop bad habits during watching TV. “coach-potato” is vivid description to prove TV’s bad influence for human beings. It’s so comfortable to watch TV on the coach that your health has become poor, your eyes short-sight and so on. It’s true that TV has threaten you and your children health. To sum up, TV is amazing invention for people, specially for children. But, compared with his goodness, there are more side-effects it arouse than it’s against . It’s wise for parent to convert your children interesting in TV into others, namely, reading book, play sport games. Because TV is indeed suitable or useful for children.
