Television has a large influence on children’s attitudes, ideas and behaviour. According to a survey, teens witness 10,000 murders, rapes and aggravated assaults per year on TV and four out of five people believe that violence on television directly contributes to the way children view violence. When children watch TV, they see other made up families, who deal with their problems different from how anyone else would. Children assume that this is how there life should be.We should teach out children about the reality of TV because television can affect the way a child acts, thinks and feels about different issues such as violence, education/ morality and gender/racial stereotypes TV glorifies violence and weapons and teaches children that the easiest way of resolving problems is through violence.Some famous children’s programs portray world-saving heroes that children look up to and admire.

TV programs such as these shows also can frighten children too. They may be frightened by the ugly, strong villains. We must teach children that all villains are not scary, powerful or ugly but they do try to fool people, young and old.It is very easy for children to lose their own sense of reality while watching shows that contain violence. They must be taught otherwise and how to be smart about TV and what they are watching.

Some shows are very educational programs designed for children. If children watch these types of shows, they will also try to portray their favourite heroes with no violence.A child’s reaction all depends on what they are exposed to. The age of the child also plays a large factor on how a program teaches these children.Television also plays a strong role on a child’s developing morality. Children who watch TV programs that affect their morality may tend to have a higher pregnancy or criminal rate than others who don’t watch the same shows.The nature of these kinds of shows and their air times are also problems because then children are able to watch these shows without parental explanation to what they are seeing.

If an adult can’t handle them, how can children be expected to.There should be people of all races included in TV programs interacting with each other, rather than shows exclusively of white people or shows exclusively of black people.Television also affects children’s gender stereotypes. Males are typically depicted as being more powerful and competent than females. They are also shown in stereotypical occupations, whereas women are largely portrayed as sex objects.In order to help resolve the problems on TV, there are many steps parents can take to avoid them: they can limit TV viewing by teaching children not to depend on TV as they’re only the source of entertainment. Parents should limit viewing to 1-2 hours per day and teach them to spend time talking or playing.Teach your child that violence on TV is not real and explain that in reality, people, including children are hurt and killed by guns. Children must be guided into doing the right thing by their parents instead of watching the violence shown on TV because it shows how it is okay to use force to solve their problems.TV also gives the impression to children that education is not needed in order to succeed in life and that stereotypes are also shown to be considered that there is no harm in teasing others that are different from themselves and different from what is the accepted normality of society.
