subject: Complaining about the uneven really shows poaching childhood of several children.

respected sir,

I am a regular reader of your esteemed daily and wish to draw the attention of the public to the worrisome popularity of reality television shows for children.

- Young children are burdened with the responsibility of performing well in each episode of the reality show.

- their study and school routine is bound to get disturbed if they participate in such shows.

- The introduction to fame and popularity at such a young age may not be easy to handle.

- Add to it the cut-throat competition promoted by such shows.

- This could lead to high stress situations for young children that could have negative effects on their psyche.

- Often, parents try to live and fulfil their ambitions through their children by forcing them to participate in these reality shows.

- It could mean a shortcut to money and fame for the whole family if the child does well in the reality show!

- Careful monitoring is required: whether the show is taking care of basic necessities and requirements of the children, whether the format of the show is detrimental to the emotional health of the participants.

- Parents too need to be careful not to put so much pressure on their children: they must enjoy their talent and help Ragini.

TIPS:

May be you could start with something on the lines of " the increasing no. of TV shows with children casted in them...."

Then you can mention the positive points of TV shows (If any)

And then you can write about the hints which are given to you and the negativity of TV casting.

Thanking you

yours sincerely,

Rohini
