Do you have statistics about how long children spend watching television and other modern screen? The numbers are a bit 'confusing for most parents. Are you worried that watching your children?

According to the American Lung Association, "In a year when the average child spends 900 hours in school and nearly 1023 hours watching television." It 'a very disturbing thought that children spend more time watching television than almost any other activity. Whatcould some of the results of the screen so long?

He sat for an hour on TV to see, because I am well aware of what you see. Do not take me long to discover some of the negative aspects. Probably find some of the following: violence, marketing messages, sarcasm and an attitude of disrespect of authority, sexual innuendo and other risky behaviors not likely that your child is constantly exposed. The content of television is degrading and much moredaunting. Even things like bullying and anxiety pictures of a child may be frightened.

As regards advertising, it's no wonder that our children ask to see all the toys? The toy industry has bombarded the mind of your child with advertising every day. Most children will be driven by advertising of products that you think you see, is a must and people happy. This is the idea that we pass on to our children?

Also troubling are the results, particularly for children's television is correlated with attention and hyperactivityProblems in the future.

Finally, risk-taking behavior in TV programs are distributed today most. This demonstrates the sexual activity to drug use. Therefore, our children will think is acceptable behavior? Good question.

What about so-called educational television? It 'true that some programs, particularly public television, have problems with inappropriate content, as indicated above. However, many parents areconcerned that their children are entertained passively, instead of spending their personal entertainment, or even just to dream, time. In truth, we can not know exactly what our children do not lose if you try to contact to make television.
