HORTATORY EXPOSITION
WHEN OUR CHILDREN WATCH TV
Television is a communication tool that can show a picture in the form of movement, voice, and sound. Nowadays, people like watching TV very much. Moreover, with the progress of technology, television has provided many interesting programs. Nevertheless, many people don’t realize that not all TV programs are suitable to be watched for some reasons, especially for our children.
Firstly, if the frequency of watching TV is high, it can be influenced someone’s mindset, especially children. They will think that all people will act like what they watch on TV. It will be seen in the children’s daily behavior. The children will act like what their idols do on TV. They can’t differentiate between reality and fantasy.
Second, in this modern era, the influence of electronic media for our children (read: TV) is bigger, the technology is more sophisticated, and the intensity is bigger too. Nevertheless, parents don’t have enough time for paying attention and supervising their children. Children use most of their time for watching TV than doing something else. It will hamper them to do the other important things, such as playing with friends, studying, and sharing with family.
Third, if our children watch TV too frequent, they will act passive. They will lose in reveries to the TV program. In one side, TV gives us many informations, entertainment, even it becomes a life-advancement. Nevertheless, in the other side, TV can infect some negative effects on children’s attitude, mindset, and behavior.
At last but not least, because of watching TV too frequent, the brain development of our children will be disturbed, especially in age of 0-3 years old. It can cause a disturbance of speaking development, ability of verbal speaking, and children’s understanding. Besides that, TV program can also hamper the children’s ability in writing down their idea, increase the children’s aggressiveness and strictness in age of 5-10 years old, and lose their ability in differentiating the reality and fantasy.
Based on the discussion above, we should take care of our children and pay extra attention to them. We should prevent, prohibit, or erase TV programs that have negative effects for our children’s development. The parents’ role is very needed to supervise the children’s behavior. It is better if parents also join the children when they watch TV.
