Infants shouldn't be allow to watch television

Television allows children to be 30% more likely to have an disorder due to the study of 1,345 children

Children that spend hours in front of television increases their chances of attention deficit disorder

''Children who were expose to unrealistic levels of stimulation at a young age continued to expect this later life ,leading to difficulty dealing with the slower pace of school and homework''

Watching television with violence can cause an affect on

children ''2/3 of all programs contains violence ''

and could have an bad influence on children.

''Program designed for children more often contain violence than adult TV''

Those Two And Older Should Only Watch No More Than 2 Hours A Day Of Television

As children develop watching television can distract children from many activities. Such as reading ,doing homework .and spending time with family.

Children who constantly spend more than two hours or more watching TV is likely to be obese

Television has a new healthy message for

children ''Sesame Street has answer the call to

educate our children about health concern.''

Programs such as these emphasize how important it is to have a healthy lifestyle. For example healthy eating and exercise.

Television can have an positive influence on children

There are TV shows that allow kids to learn . such as the show Dora and martha speaks.

Disney Channel is helping inspire children to go on a health kick.

Televisions Is A beneficial To kids

New, current events,and historical programing will help more kids be aware of cultures and people

Television can teach kids values and life lessons.

Educational programs helps children with socialization and learning skills

Ly-dashia Thoughts I Ly-Dashia agree that television has a

bad influence on children because of the different things shown on the show. For example you have shows that has says “for viewers 14 and older,” but yet parents allow little children watch the show. With that being said kids are picking up the different things said or done on the show and imitating it so that is why television is an bad influence on kids.

Ashley's Thoughts

I Ashley disagree that television is a bad influence on kids. I think that television Helps children in different ways. For an example I think dora helps kids with their ABC'S and their number. Their other television that help kids with their healthy. Nickelodeon Helps kids with their health .It help kids know which foods is good to eat and which food are not good. Television also have fun activities for kids to do. Therefore I think television is a good influence on Kids.
