It's an eerie connection, so eerie that Missy has questions she wants for her parents. But she's too afraid to ask.

    Television can be entertaining and educational for kids depending on the context of the programming and also on the age a child starts to watch it. Children are exposed to television before they are exposed to any other form of media. This usually begins before the age of two even though it is not recommended because of the lack of information on how this affects children development. Nowadays we have special TV shows that are directed towards infants and there is also a cable network specifically intended for babies. This, however, does not mean that we should refrain from the normal social interactions that kids should have at that age and put them in front of the “box”. The first 2 years of life are of the most importance when it comes to brain development. This is why it is believed that many types of media, including TV, can get in the way of a children learning process. This includes playing with other, and interacting with the kid’s relatives. These are activities that support learning and healthy physical and social growth. Having said that, it is necessary to note that a little time in front of the TV could be a good thing for kids. Many children that are not yet in school could learn to count and could even learn the alphabet. Older kids could learn about the world, nature and wildlife. In contrast, children that are exposed to violence might turn to be aggressive and be scare of the things that surround them. Parents need to be aware of what kids are seeing on TV and need to encourage kids to spend more time outside playing and exploring so they can learn firsthand what the world is about.…

    Sitting in school, little Jane sits anxiously watching the clock. The teacher is talking to the class, but Jane just can't wait to get home. When the bell finally rings, she runs out of the classroom, and all the way home. After blasting in the house, she runs to turn on the TV. Having nothing more exciting to do, Jane will sit in front of the television until her mom pulls her away for dinner. This is an all to familiar scenario in many American homes today. What many people don't realize are the problems that can develop from young children watching too much TV. Many emerging dilemmas are resulting from this concern. When a young child with a maturing brain sits in front of the TV for several hours every day, it can instigate loss of creativity, impatience, and violence further along down the road.<br><br>The ability to be creative is an important factor in the development of a young child's mind. By sitting down and watching TV for a couple hours, the child is entertained, but is also not thinking. Information in spoon-fed to them, so when it comes time to read a book in school, some can have a hard time grasping ideas. They are so used to having images flash before them to provide understanding; they have trouble moving their eyes side to side to gather the information for themselves. With the TV in front of them, supplying amusement, they may never stop to think that putting a puzzle together, or reading a book could also be fun. They could actually become dependent on this one source of fantasy, and never bother to create their own. As the child grows older, it is less likely to put effort into playing with other kids, or taking up a hobby.<br><br>While losing creativity, the child can also gain impatience. By having all the stories and facts plastered clear in front of them, they can easily loose interest sitting in a classroom all day.

    Television has become a "member" of almost every single family on our planet. And not just an ordinary member, but a very important one, because the time spent next to it exceeds the amount of time spent together with any other family member. You do not have to apply any efforts to talk or listen to complaints while “communicating” with it. You do not have to play with your little son after a hard working day. You are SO tired! Can anybody respect that? You can simply turn the TV on and everything is done: kids are quiet, your wife is not complaining and you feel absolutely happy. It is so simple that it has become an integral part of the culture of every family. It is the only time, when a person can forget about all the family troubles and the failures of the day. The sofa opposite the TV set has become the place of “reconciliation and spiritual unity” of the family.…
