Watching television has become a hobby for children. Instead of playing outside and enjoying the outdoors, children choose to relax on the couch and watch television. Just like watching a movie at the movie theater, people eat popcorn and candy and drink pop. Children do the same by eating and watching their favorite television show. Eating and watching television has a negative effect because children tend not to realize how much they are eating because they are too into their show.
Watching a little television is ok, but watch too much can cause problems. Watching television with parents for a couple hours is positive since they aren’t watching too much and are also bonding with family members. If children have to watch television for a couple of hours because mom is trying to make supper or at daycare, here are a few television shows that are appropriate for children.
Disney channel’s Hannah Montana is a great show for young children. There’s singing and dancing and in the end somehow Hannah learns a lesson. It also shows children that if they just set their mind towards something and don’t give up; they can actually achieve that goal.
PBS’s Arthur has been around for a while and it still is a great show for children to watch. On the show Arthur has many diverse friends addressing social and health related issues. This is great for children to pick up at a young age because they will learn to accept it later in life. The show teaches a lot about relationships, family, diversity, and friendship.
Nickelodeon’s television show Dora the Explorer is a really good learning show for young children to watch. Dora has many adventures which usually include helping someone. The show includes the children watching by helping her explore and help finish her task. The show also includes another language so children can get a basis of what it is like in a different culture.
PBS’s Sesame Street has been on television since I was a little girl. Since the show has been on that long, you know that it is a really good show for your child to watch. The show teaches children basic skills such as counting, color, number and shape recognition, as well as cultural and social diversity.
These four shows are really good learning shows for children to watch with their parents, but parents have to remember not to put a television in their child’s room because that always tends to cause problems. Parents should set certain times their child should watch television and meal times should be a time when the family talks, not watch television. In the end, adults just need to show television in a positive way to children. Show that television doesn’t always have a negative view and that there are shows that are suitable.
