Explain Why Children Should Not Have Screen Time
Children should not have screen time taken away from them it's apart of everyday life. I feel as if certain television shows help toddlers learn things also smaller childer(ages 5-9). There are all types of networks created just for them. There's:PBS Kids, Channel thirteen, Sprout, Nick jr. etc. Also they have websites for children too. ABC mouse helps so much. My little brother uses it on a daily, and his vocabulary has improved so much just to be almost two years old. Most parents feel as if their child won't grow up to do his/her best in school because they're watching so much television; when honestly that isnt true. Its just another statistic. I have a friend we used to hang out all the time shes now a senior in high school

    Entertainment can be a great educator. Television is a notorious enjoyment for the young. Whilst enjoying programs from channels like Nick Jr. and Disney Junior, toddlers can amass a pool of knowledge before they begin formal schooling. My brother is a beneficiary of those programs. Thank to “Little Einsteins”, he is exposed to classical music, renowned artists and the scenery of other countries. “Team Umizoomi”, fortified his math skills by introducing him to counting, addition and subtraction, and patterns. In addition, the storylines of an episode constantly include problem solving. Often minor yet essential life lessons, like the wrongs of lying, are present, adding to the value of the TV programs.…

    Parents fail to see the long term actions of they're overbearing parenting. Wemberly, a high school women's basket ball couch still remembers when a girl was driven incessantly on the basket ball court in order to get in to a college, but once she got there, she'd only last a year. With so much of the students grade based on their parents fighting and working for them, they find them selves ill prepared for independent life. “he [the student] get into a big program, rides the bench, has a stressful experience and feels like a failure”(Nevius pg. 307) says Former high school counselor, Mike Riera. When they get in to college, and find out that a 70 on a paper means you got a 70, they find that real life, the one with out the benefit of their parents doing everything for them, its a lot harder then what they are use too. Or consider parents that got learning disabilities for their children. According to the College board, extra time on a text only helps if you actually have a learning disability, but if you do, there's really no difference other then they got extra time. “if you don't know it, you don't know it” says educational psychologist McClure. By constantly providing an unfair advantage to your child, your setting them up to fail once they're on equal footing and on their…

    Some studies show being on media devices, watching TV, and computers aren't healthy for children. I personally disagree. These studies believe that kids should be focused on doing more creative things, instead of being focused on entertainment. Many kids who spend numerous hours on media devices can be very helpful. There's educational apps and games that can sharpen the brain and store more knowledge within the child. There's kids who generally have a hard time learning in a classroom setting, due to other distractions around them. On media devices animation and graphics in apps and games, may have the child attention rather than the classroom.…

    It would be bad idea to add an extra one an half hour because there would be no time for extracurricular activities, older siblings wouldn’t be able to get their younger brother/ or sister off the elementary school bus, and schools would have to provide a snack for the children because it would interfere with families early dinner time. Can the school afford this? It is very important for families to have family time because families should have a strong bond. Also, kids should have time to get out their energy and have fun instead of learning for nine hours a day. Here are my reasons on why the School Board should not change school hours.…

    The new generation of kids are being affected by technology enormously throughout the growth of technology. Ruth states in her article that a study done by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that children from the age of eight to eighteen are spending more than seven and a half hours a day on technology (Ruth 1). Which affects the children because it cause them to do less physical activity. She also states “The danger with our technology-obsessed kids, Greenfield warns, is that they are no longer accustomed to the full range of mess and meaningful human interaction” (Ruth 2). Kids no longer know how to interact with one another, because they are stuck on technology. Ruth mention in her article how social technology is molding children's brain…

    People prohibit their kids from watching TV mostly because they are trying to protect them, I think. I don’t personally think anything on TV is really that bad that your kids need “protecting” from, but I know that a lot of parents are more protective then I see myself being one day. Some parents only let their kids watch…

    Parents always tell their children that if they use too much technology their brain will turn to mush. Children`s brains won`t quite turn to mush, but there still are lots of effects of using too much technology. Young children and teens should be allowed only one to two hours of screen time per day, while children ages two and under should be allowed no screen time at all. A study has shown that 61% of people have said that 5 or more hours of their day is screen time, while 30% of people have said that 9 or more hours of their day is screen time (Thorpe). Doctors are now starting to use the term cyberchondriac for people who are extensively using technology and are addicted (Abramovitz).…

    The first solution is parents must partially abstain children from technology by limiting children’s screen time according to American Academy of Pediatrics. The reason is that children don’t need technology to learn just as how current icon don’t need technology to bring them to where they are now. Furthermore, even Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple does not fancy his children playing technology. In fact, when iPad first came out, he banned his children from using them. He has an orthodox functional family that have their dinner table talk. He leads by example to all the tech-savvy and ordinary people out there. The pros of this solution is that we can see the fruition of this solution as children without technology are still becoming the future leader. The con is that technology is evolving and it is unsure whether there is life without technology in the future. The solution will work for the time being before technology controls every aspect of our life.…

    I definitely think children should be allowed to watch television. I think it needs to be limited and restricted so they can only watch so much in a day and only watch certain programs. I would say they shouldn’t watch more than 1-2 hours in one day. They should only be allowed to watch age appropriate shows as well in order to limit what they see at a young age so they are not traumatized.…
