First of all, I think it is important to say that the quality of television has improved a great deal in recent years. There is now a wide range of programs suitable for all ages and interests. In my opinion, there are many things that children can learn from television.
They can, for example, learn about other countries, other ways of living and so on. As well as this, television can give parents a chance to be free of their children for a short time, which can be very important. On the other hand, sometimes children will just sit and watch rubish for hours at a time and oviously this is not a good thing and needs to be controled. Therefore I think parents should discuss and agree how much tv the children watch.
To sum up then parents need to think about how their children use tv and be prepaired to limit the time when it is on if they feel their children are becoming addicted to it in an unhealthy kind of way.

That is true. But what i think is that parents should make them busy, if they have nothing to do with except for cleaning their home, . .etc they have only choise; turn on the tv and watch it. That's simple and easy.Provided parents want to get their child's interest,find or explore their talent they should let them have some trials. For example; to attend variaty of courses,such as dancing, singing, painting courses or maybe sports courses. Thus,they will know that there are several things which are better than watching Tvs, instead of just being told like 'stop watching! you are always watching!!! 'etc.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was child, my parents gave me thirty minutes for watching TV, like u mentioned. Unfortunately, I had to clean my whole things to get that time, hehe... Although it was so boring, I always cleaned it diligently.
