Topic: Children shouldn’t watch TV under 5 years old
Reason 1: Watching TV is bad for developing young children’s brain.
Example: Some reporters contend that young kids are sensitive to learn all basic skills from people and real world rather than TV screen.
Example: One of my friend used TV as a babysitter, as the result of that, the baby was too late to speak language.
Reason 2: Some TV programs have a few violent scenarios can affect young children’s behavior more or less.
Example: Some evidences indicate that young children can’t distinguish right or wrong to some extent, and they like to imitate behaviors from television.
Example: My stepson is a good example for it. He began to watching TV when he was toddler; and he had very badly behavior even thought he was only 3 years old at that time.
Reason 3: Heavy TV watching can affect children’s health.
Example: Watching much TV can take away children’s healthy activities; it can also affect their weight, sleep and mood etc.
Example: TV can damage young children’s eyes. My stepson is also a typical case for that. He began to wear short-sighted glasses when he was young kid.
Reason 4: Spending much time on watching TV can also interfere with children’s learning and relationship with others.
Example: TV addicted young children know less knowledge than average kids.
Example: TV addicted young children usually have few friends, and they don’t communicate with their family more often, because TV occupies their much more spare time.
Conclusion: In my opinion, it is bad decision to turn on the TV for children who is less the 5 years old. Parents should pay more time to read for kids or play with them.
