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.
Children can recognize many brands of logos that can impact them and with trademark loyalty effect starting at the age two (McNeal, 1992). Also, children who watch Television very much, want more toys that seen in TV advertisements and eat more food that seen in the advertisement. Kids today have more autonomy and decision-making power within the family than in previous generations, so it follows that kids are vocal about what they want their parents to buy. Pester power refers to kid’s power to nag their parents into purchasing items they may not otherwise buy. Marketing to children is all about creating pester power because advertisers know what a powerful force it can be.
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.

Researchers have studied how TV affects kids' sleep, weight, grades, behavior, and more. It’s worth looking at what the research says when deciding how to manage television in your family.

It has been researched that the noise that comes from the television keeps kids up at night! The noise isn’t the only problem… the light is too! All the flashing and bright colors distract kids and make them stay up later then they should be. Computers, cellphones, and video games are also very distracting kids stay up all night on social websites on their phone or laptop and talk to friends or post pictures….then they wait, wait for other kids to comment or like it and that keeps them up all night long!
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.

Playground is designed for children to interact with each other and to improve their health and fitness level. Playing during recess keeps children healthy and active. However, some children don’t get enough exercise because they watch a lot of TV and it’s hard for full time employed parents to focus on their children’s physical activities.
