TV and children
Only in recent years scientists and doctors began serious study of the influence of television and children. After parents, TV has the great influence on children today.
Watching TV has it’s good and bad sides. From TV children get information about the world, they learn new words and begin to use them in their speech.
But TV also influences the development on a child in a negative way. When children spend all day in front of TV sets, they cannot usually find time to read, to play games in the yard, to talk to their parents and friends.
Teachers say that children who watch TV every day talk too much at school at the lessons. They cannot talk at home while watching TV so they begin to talk at school.
TV influences the creative abilities of the pupils. In America there was such an experiment. 250 good pupils watched TV for many hours every day. After three weeks the pupils were tested. The results were unusually low.
Pupils who watch TV very much cannot understand  an easy story without pictures, tables or illustrations.
TV makes children passive. When a child watches TV he lives the lives of the heroes, he travels with them, does everything with them. But he is not doing anything, he is just sitting in an armchair and watching TV.
When a child watches TV, everything seems very easy to him. And real life begins to seem easy. He cannot work hard, because watching TV doe not need hard work. And some TV shows in which the violence and crime are predominant have negative effect on children.
