Some parents do not realize that when they are allowing their children to sit down and watch television for hours on end that there could be a show that is educational and will help to fill the child’s mind with knowledge and not pollution. Such as many parents realizing that Sesame Street was also an educational show that helped children to
I can see my son watching this show and doing things he sees in it. For example, he might go to school and socialize with boys only. He might also socialize with people who acts like him and looks like him. I feel like that might limit his learning opportunities and his knowledge about the real world. To stop the bully by becoming a bully does not solve anything.
English Composition I April 1, 2013 Are Certain TV Shows Bad For A Young Child? Kids learn just about anything from what they see on TV. They watch educational shows like Sesame Street, Beakman’s World, etc. Shows like these have great educational tools that they teach kids so they can grow up with knowing what’s wrong and what’s right. But if a kid is left alone or unsupervised they could watch shows that encourage them to act differently than usual.
He says that children who play outside and explore the great outdoors are more creative and that being outside help children become better athletes, and prevent depression. How do we know that? Louv says all these facts but fails to show hard concrete evidence; where are the experiments that prove his theory? In the beginning of the passage readers were shown that at Scripps Ranch Community Association, children were doing normal outside activities, but then were asked to stop by the community association. Therefore moving all activities inside which caused parents to watch their children become couch potatoes.
So, what do some parents do to get their so-called "relaxation" time? They prop their kids in front of the television. in another room and turn it to a cartoon station. This is one major problem, because parents think that all cartoons on a cartoon station are appropriate for children. That is not true, not all cartoons are appropriate for children to watch.
The author not only discussed the shortcomings of the research article, but she made valid points as to how the research was meaningful and significant. The impact of the article leaves readers with the sense that there needs to be a change in what our children are watching. The research study proved that even in as little as nine minutes children’s overall cognitive functioning decreases when watching fast paced shows. By watching these fast paced shows (compared to drawing or educational programs) children are being primed to be A.D.H.D like impulsive and are not being able to control their attention spans, solve problems, or handle delay of gratification and working memory dilemmas. From the results and the article, parents should be aware of the consequences that these fast paced programs may have on their
Watching children playing games is another way to learn, but not that much that by playing the game. In some cases when the children are in the ages between 3 and 7 they don’t use so much of the rules of the games because they are really young and they just want to enjoy themselves “have fun”. However, when they are growing up they start to acting as young adults; trying to make decisions as the adults that are around
Diet of television is the answer. I think parents should not replace a baby sitter for the TV, or even replace them selves for the TV. I know a lot of parents who prefer to sleep 30 minutes alone, and all they do is send their children to watch TV or play violent video games, they totally forget about the damage it is causing to them, and when they grow up parents complaint why their children are so violent with them and everybody else. I think the idea of built-in time-channel lock circuitry is awesome. Imagine a kid solving a puzzle -which will help to develop his brain- instead of watching TV; also this kind of activities will keep him safe from violence.
Kids and Education John Taylor Gatto states his thesis “Why Schools Don’t Educates” that two institutions control children’s lives: Television and school. The reader must accept that no fact for the balance of the article to make sense. One has to agree that pressure and parental guidance are of minor influence. However, assuming that the massive amount of time he claims is spent watching television is correct, it quickly becomes clear that the place to begin to help a child grow intellectually would be to severely limit the fantasy world of television. Fifty six hours a week is amazing.
They often develop favourite games like ‘mummies and daddies’ and ‘superman’, allowing them to try out various adult roles. Sometimes the roles they take may conflict with your values as a parent, but if you allow them to play without making them feel it’s wrong, they usually let go of that role once they’ve worked through what it means. It’s frightening for young children to sense their parents cannot manage them. Some have imaginary playmates, which is more likely if they don’t have other children to play with. This isn’t a sign
