Just from viewing tv these affects are given to your child after a period of time.

The Last and final reason i thik children should be restricted from media screen and any type of other screen is my persomal one which is OBESITY. Obesity is the number one on the lsit for me because in the first passage it says"Depression has also been linked o screen viewing before sleep at night" then i goes on to say "Tie netween TV viewing and obesity have always been strong". I think this is exaxtly right from past persoanl experience also. Tv viewing for HOURS has been leading to eating and eating junk food all day. Especially if you have that one favorite show you watch and you're addicted to.

What do you think? Do you agree with me and think children should be restricted from spending time infront of media screens? If you chnaged your mind after reading this I totally agree with you. There are some pros and cons to it, but no child should sit infront of media screens for more than 1 to 2 hours.In This essay i hope you understood and know why myself personally thinks children should not be infront of media screen or any other type of screen such as iphones,tablets, and videogames

    According to Roberts and Foehr (2006) 33% of children under six have a television in their room, while 5% of children in the same age group have a personal computer in their room.

    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 goes on to state that TV can interfere with children interacting with other children which encourages learning and healthy physical and social development.

    Children need to be limited on the amount of screen time they have on a daily bases. Spending too much time in front of a screen "can lead to weak executive functions, lower test scores, and obesity in children". In my personal experiance screen time can cause anger, innapropriate behaviors, and issolation for children and that is why my children are very limitted with screen time.
