                                         Effect of watching TV on kids

 Should we prevent our children from watching TV because it is harmful? TV is becoming significant part of i our lives, all family members spend a lot of time watching it. Many people just focus on negative effects of watching TV .In my opinion, not all watching TV is harmful, it has many positive effects.

Although TV has violence content, we don't need to prevent our kids from watching TV. It isn't every time played on TV.  There are many beneficial programs on TV which Affect positively on our kids behaviors. Inappropriate violence content can be limited by parents so we don't need to prevent them from watching it and it isn't good solution. If several campaigns are run to encourage parents to do this, children will not experience violent content or other inappropriate content, such as sexually explicit.

Watching TV can help kids on their study .TV viewing helps the growth of mental faculties and reasoning power of children. There are a lot of educational programs on TV which is more attractive and cheaper than regular class. Moreover, TV represent as healthy entertainments environment so they may have some fun before doing homework that will help them a lot.

On other hand, many people thing that children usually effect by what they watch .violence program may make them more aggressive  that may lead them to do bad thing such as, smoking and drinking alcohol. Furthermore, many parents thing that watching TV will effect negatively on their kids study .kids likes to spend time watching TV more than doing homework which will effect  negatively on their score .

TV viewing is harmless according to my opinion. By the parents controlling  on what their  kids watching ,we can limited the negative effect of some violence  content .many programs focus on development of mental skills of children which help them in their study and doing homework.
