Explanation:
Television has a major impact on children's knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. Research has demonstrated the association between television viewing and four areas: children's aggressive behavior; racial and sex-role stereotypes; decreased interest in reading and school activities; and poorer health habits. However
some TV shows can educate, inform and inspire. It can be more effective than books or audiotapes in teaching your kid about processes like how a plant grows or how to bake a cake.
Studies show that kids who watch educational and non-violent children’s shows do better on reading and math tests than those who do not watch these programs.
Allowing kids to watch educational shows from TV can expose children to millions more words, especially if they have parents who are unable to speak more or better with them.
Hence, television can be beneficial as well as a disadvantage, depends on how we use it.
