If we could unplug all the TV’s, our children would grow up in a different world. We wouldn’t have to worry about kids becoming over weight, independent issues or educational problems. Since my mom was a single parent and working a full time job, I wasn’t allowed to go outside by myself. TV was the only think I had until my mom was finished with her work. If we unplugged the TV’s, America probably wouldn’t be known as the “Fattest” country. Video games are mostly the problem because they can become addicting. And our parents provide us with this luxury, because most parents rely on TV as a babysitter.
Even though there can be educational shows, I personally learned everything I know from hands on experience; from going on field trips with my school or learning things from my mom. Watching TV shows should be allowed but only in moderation.
Children are learning everything from TV shows, the good and the bad. With mostly reality shows, parents shouldn’t trust what their kids are watching. Children are at their most vulnerable stage in life and can be influenced by anyone.
I agree that children should not be watching reality shows - too much scripted garbage. Most children are too impressionable for such programming anyway. Good job.
