In this essay I will be talking about how children are affected by television. Although many parents these days do not want their children to watch television, there are a lot of educational shows available today. Many parents may not want their children to watch modern television, and I would have to tell those parents that there are some shows out there these days that are very educational and they are aimed towards the young. Watching the educational cartoons can be very helpful for a child’s mind. There can be positive results emotionally, physically, and psychologically.
He starts clapping and jumping up and down screaming, "Baaaneeyyy". Anderson (2006) claimed that young children have a difficult time telling the difference between fantasy and reality, they are highly susceptible to the socializing effects of television, especially those shows on children's television channels and animated programs (p. 287). I am so pleased to see how happy Landen is. He even knows what remotes he needs to turn on Barney. When he is ready to watch Barney, he will grab the remotes and bring them to me.
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.
I was raised in a poor town in Mexico where there were not televisions. We used our free time trying to invent new games or play innocent games with our neighbors. After I got to school it was very clear the difference between kids that had TV and those who didn’t. Some of the influenced kids used to imitate bad jokes they had saw on TV. We couldn’t imitate those because we didn’t have TV, we could
“The media: It’s been around for ages, but what you experienced growing up is worlds away from what your children are growing up with today. (Unknown, 2010) Some kids’ lives are consumed by the media, and there can be very negative effects. How [do] the media affect your child, and how can you set healthy media guidelines?” Basically, the Common Sense Media (2010) reported children who are majorly exposed to the media reveal low academic performance. Based on the study they have a lower vocabulary, low reading levels, and perform poorly on test.

All the flashing and bright colors distract kids and make them stay up later then they should be.

The biggest factor in kid’s lack of exercise is the technology that we’ve developed. Kids have become dependent on electronic devices. In the 1980’s there was hardly any video games or internet so kids were forced to find activities to do to occupy them. Now a days it’s just not common for kids to go outside and play, as if it’s became “outdated”. In Samantha Mendoza’s article “Technology leads to childhood obesity” she makes a good point when she says “Even if kids want to go outside and ride their bike, the hours they’ve spent using technology take away their physical energy and make them too tired to go outside”.

But in most cases there is an underage kid who cannot watch certain things that should be censored and not all channels and movies are censored.
