Children and Television Children and Television

Television is one of the newest kinds of entertainment, and it has great influence on children. Some people feel that television has had a good influence on children because it offers educational programs for them. One of the best and most popular programs is Sesame Street . Children in fifty countries now watch this program. One study shows that Sesame Street helps children do better in school.

influence

EXT

Other people feel that television is bad for children. They feel that there are too many programs about crime and violence, and that even educational programs do not help a child’s education. Children simply watch too much television, and therefore they do not do a lot of other things that are important for their education. Preschool children need to learn to speak their language and communicate with people. When they are watching television they are only listening to the language, and they are not communicating with anyone. When elementary school children watch television, they read a lot less. Because of this, they do not learn to read and write as quickly at school.

communicate

Recently, fifteen families in an America city decide to stop watching television for a month or more. At first it was difficult, but there were a lot of good results. The children read, played, and exercised more, and the families became closer. But at the end of the experiment, all the families began to watch television just as much as before. Not one family was able to give up television completely.
