i feel like kids should not be able to look at t.v alot how they do. Kids should be more active outside playing at parks with friends doing sports or studying and doing schoolwork.
Alot of kids get lazy and feel like they dont have to do nothing when there parents lets them just sit in front of a television all day or playing video games and eating alot of junk food. In my passage what i support my claim it say too much t.v leads to weakness in the child they fall behind in school get low test scores and grades and i agree with it. back in the days young kids didnt look at much t.v like the ones in this generation they always had to do something not just sit around and do what they wanted to do.Its a differents if the parents look at t.v with them because its like cartoon and some kids stuff it reduce fear and increase leaning skills.

Take them to the park more let them meet new friends play tell them do there school work dont let nobody interfere with there goals in life build trust let them belone and moments to let them know how to be independant. But at some point they will look at t.v and i will tell them nothing that willl have them scared or having nightmares.
I disagree with the othe passage because its claim children should be able to look at t.v for alleast 7 hours a day. Thats why most kids be sleepy or dont want to go to school or there grades fall behind its weaking them making them dont want them to do nothing.and also play is also
Television has a widespread influence on everyone, especially children. Children are impacted so much by the things they have seen and watched on TV. They learn many things from TV, but their social skills and other learning abilities slow down. Watching TV numbs the mind of children and keeps them inactive from daily exercise. Furthermore, speech delays can occur in children who watch excessive amounts of television. Television programming such as MTV, Adult Swim, and Family Guy exposes and promotes negative
“Television has changed the American child from an irresistable force to an immovable object.” (Peter). There was a time when all children wanted to do was to run, play, explore, and be adventurous. As time evolved, children have found more interest in television. Statistics show that a child spends 900 hours per year in school,and they spend 1,200 hours per year watching television. When asked to choose between watching T.V. and spending time with their families fifty-four percent of four to six year olds voted they would prefer to watch television. Television has changed the mindset of children over the years it has been proven that the more programs they watch, the more harmful it is to their brain development. T.V.
Kids should have free time for themselves instead of having a screen in front of their face all day. A few reasons why it would be good is because they can get out of their comfort zone. They can bond with family. Also they can get smarter. Instead of having a screen in front of them all day.
While I understand the points given by both writers, I personally believe that screen time on today's technologies is a great resource that we should always take advantage of. It is very true that a lot of time is wasted on our phones and other media devices, but if we can learn to not be completely dependent on technology and use it as a tool then it can advance the human race far beyond our imagination. If a child has an issue with health or maturing issues, it makes sense for the parent or gaurdian to set restraints, but placing an all-out limit on such powerful tools can prevent your child from getting the education that is now available to him or her.
In the article “TV’s Negative Influence on Kids Reaffirmed” by Jeffrey M. McCall, he addresses the issue of how TV has a negative influence on children. McCall states that young children and toddler’s cognitive ability do not develop as well when they have a television in the background while they are playing and interacting. McCall also argues that TV has a very influential role in the teenage pregnancy rate and how early teens become sexually active. To further prove his point, McCall proclaims that children and teens that are exposed to large amounts of television and video games become socially awkward and have issues interacting in society. McCall also says that the networks are rating their own programs carelessly, which is leading to shows that should be restricted by a V-chip being watched by children, rendering the restricting system null and void.
Television can affect learning and school performance if it exceeds the time kids need for their crucial for healthy physical and mental development. Most of children's free time, especially during the early development years, should be spent in activities such as playing, reading, exploring nature, learning about music or participating in sports. Research has shown that children's exposure to television during the preschool years is predictive of academic outcomes during adolescence. The most notable lesson about this
* Television watching also promotes lack of creativity and enhances passivity. The child shies away from mental and physical workout.
An alarming thought put forward by the writer was that it is okay for children to have a time they will not learn anything that will help them academically. The world is changing and the mindsets of children and their parents need to change with it too. Too much leisure time will be detrimental to the child’s development and may encourage procrastination. I also believe that writer did not put enough emphasis on the degree of freedom she wanted children to have. We live in troubled times and there must be some limitations to the degree of freedom the children are allowed to enjoy. She failed to mention that parents must be wary of their children getting involved in unlawful activities and the consequences of such actions.
Why kids deserve to have recess and not sit on the couch and watch tv all day when they could be outside and spend time burning enger and spending time with friends.Most kids have been on phones,tablets,tv,ipads,and why that is bad is because if kids are to spend more than,4 hours on tv they could grow up to be overweight.Also if kids watch violent shows they can show aggressive behavior.After kids show that behavior they will become addicted to tv and devices which then if you don't stop them and take it away for a while then the kids will still show that behavior.
Statistics show that screen time negatively affects children’s learning abilities and development. “The effects of so much screen time can include speech delays, aggressive behavior and obesity.” (Lavey) Since parents play a role in how much television their kids can watch, they can minimize the chances of their brains not developing correctly. “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.” (Kids Health) Children do
Like what others are usually saying, letting your kids watch TV might corrupt their growing mind and is not beneficial to them at all. Contrary
It may be hard to admit, but television has become an intricate part of our everyday lives. People children often find themselves sitting in front of the television screen for a longer period of time than before and this has evolved immensely over the past few years. In this article, “The Trouble with Television,” by the author Marie Winn, mentions that addiction of television is negative effects on children and families. It keeps the families from doing other things and it’s a hidden competitor for all other activities. Television takes place of play and on top of that kids who watch a lot of television grow uncivilized. Also, the author mentioned that televisions are less resourceful for children and have negative effects on children’s
Television can be said to be what dominates the majority of a persons day. It is used as a form of entertainment. TV is not just used to watch shows or movies but is also now used for social media, and video games. People of all ages watch TV and children are learning at much younger ages now how to navigate a TV. Parental controls should be used for the emotional, physical, and psychological safety of children.
Children should limit their time on media screens, for example in passage 1, it says children in the united states have an average of 7.5 hours of screen time per day. I understand that electronics such as ipads, cell phones or computers are entertaining, but as young children should'nt surround their themselves around that much screen time, they are basically throwing all of their youth away. My opinion kids need to be kids, and play outside with their friends, interact, and play with their toys.
The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and other similar organizations have argued for years that TV is hurting the world's kids in a number of ways. The Academy says TVs stop children from playing sports, spending time
