Question

Mention the effects of television and video games on children​

Answer 1

Answer:

The results demonstrate that the presence of TV or video games in a child's bedroom not only can affect school performance, but also impacts the risk of obesity, video game addiction, and physical aggressions

Twenty years ago, developmental psychologist Douglas Gentile conducted a national survey to assess the patterns of media use in American households with children. The results revealed that parents who moderate their own screen time also monitor their kids’ screen time more carefully. Subsequently, those same children end up watching less television and participating in more alternative activities like reading, peer socialization, and family outings.

But one finding in particular stuck with Gentile. Children with a TV in their bedroom watched more hours per week than those without and also performed worse in school.
