Young children should be able to watch television. The reason young kids should be able to watch TV is because it motivates them to walk and talk more. They also learn how to do things such as dance, sing along. Especially when I was a kid I would watch a lot of television and I learned how to talk and I learned how to sing because I would sing along to one of my favorite shows which was “Between the lions and Barney” and they both had a lot of music activities . There can never be “Too much TV” since television gives us education and TV helps us learn more about the world and it helps kids become aware and learn faster. There can always be “Never too much TV”.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion young children should be able to watch tv but just not all day. In the article it says that watching to much tv for young children can give them a hard time paying attention. Tv isn't dangerous unless the play with other children. If young children spent a lot of time with other children they could watch tv more than 2 hours. So If young children spend more time with other children and watches tv for 3 hours it wouldn't be to bad on their mind. But when the children are between 6 and 10 they play outside more often so between the ages of 6 and 10 it shouldn't matter if the watch tv a lot the next day they would spend the whole day outside playing. But the young children won't have problems with paying attention if they are social so in my opinion nothing bad should happen with the children.
ReplyDeleteChildren should watch TV but not for a long time. The reason why I think this is because if you start to do something at an early age, you are more likely to keep on doing that, as you get older. There are some bad things and good things about watching TV. According to the article it states “one parent stopped her preschooler from watching the hospital drama "ER" after the child tried to give her little brother CPR.” This is bad because if a kid watches something bad on TV, he will probably do it for himself. One good thing about watching TV is that some kids learn how to do things. According to the article it states “The parents pointed out that TV and computer games teach kids the ABCs and how to share” some TV shows are helpful but some of them are not.
ReplyDeleteYoung children should be able to watch television, depending on what they are watching. Most kids like to try things out, like what they see on television, sometimes is things that can really help them. Many times it can be dangerous or it can teach them things they are not suppose to be learning at such a young age. Like it says on the article a mother “stopped her preschooler from watching the hospital drama "ER" after the child tried to give her little brother CPR”. Most of the time I think its wrong for kids ages 1-4 maybe to be watching too much television. Children should spend more time with their mothers. The parents can teach them a lot more things in a lot less time than what a T.V can.
ReplyDeleteYoung children should be able to watch television because many children learn many new things from just watching one show on a television. The reason why I say this is because for example, I have 7 little brothers and sisters. Three of them already know how to use the computer, use the Digital Versatile Disc player (DVD) and they are below the age of 6. Also, from watching movies and also television, they learned how to read, how to spell, and also how to tie their own shoes. From witnessing that, I believe many children should watch television at a young age because it helps the brain learn in an early stage while it is still growing. The reason why I say this is because in the article, the text says, “The brain of a child under age two is developing quickly”. To me, that shows that’s good that children are learning at a young age because we wouldn’t have to worry about what to teach them, as they get older. Another piece of information I noticed in the article that would back me up in my opinion says, “Kids can learn things like their ABCs and how to share. Some parents believe that their kids are also learning certain skills.” That is what I think about young children watching television.
ReplyDeleteYoung children should be able to watch televion? Yeah they should I mean when they get my age they will and some shows teach kids things so televison is not bad.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion children should watch T.V. when they want. They should be able to watch what they want and let them face the consequences. If that child knows that (s)he has school in the morning and they decide to stay up ‘till 3 then that is their problem. It is the child who has to go to school and that the snob nosed parents telling them to go to bed when they could simply sneak back into the T.V room. So there you have it all opinion not fact.

Young children should be able to watch TV because it will make them want to talk more and learn types of words and it will or should make parents happy because I will be happy if my children can talk to me. There can never be “Too much TV” since television gives us education and TV helps us learn more about the world and it helps kids become aware and learn faster. Young children should watch TV for 30 minutes or an hour. There are some bad things and good things about watching TV.
Can i please do this blog on the next literacy class please
ReplyDeleteYoung children should be able to watch television, but only for a certain amount of time and educational show such as Sesame Street and Reading Rainbow. On Sesame Street they teach children a lot of numbers and words, in Reading Rainbow they teach your children how to read. Two hours a day is a reasonable time to watch television each day for young children. Watching television can be good at time but then it can be bad. For example in the article it says “At one year old, he was putting his own DVDs in [and] skipping scenes [in a movie].
ReplyDeleteYoung children should be able to watch television. They should be able to watch television programs because it teach children how to share and they teach kids to learn. In the article it said, “TV and computer games teach kids the ABCs and how to share”. I agree with them because my cousin watches little kids sows like DORA and she teach kids the meaning of thing or to help them learn new words and at the end of the day he uses those words, one of them was “thank you”. Watching T.V is a helpful way for kids to learn. In the article it also said, "At one year old, he was putting his own DVDs in [and] skipping scenes [in a movie].” I agree to this statement because kids can learn just by watching T.V. T.V can be help for little kids as long as they don’t watch the bad thing. I disagree with the researches that said “some of them believe, for example, that children who watch too much TV at a young age may be more likely to develop attention disorders” I don’t believe that because T.V cannot brain watch you, you can learn what you want from it. That is why I think kids should be able to watch T.V
ReplyDeleteKids should watch television only if they’re parents allow them to. If children watch television at an early age they can be very intelligent. Researchers have done many studies on children and most of them say that children will develop disorders if they do not limit or not watch any television.
ReplyDeleteYoung children should be able to watch TV because children learn more things by the TV then by learning it by someone. One reason why I think young children should watch TV is because “At one year old, he was putting his own DVDs in [and] skipping scenes [in a movie].” Some children learn how to spell and how to talk because of the TV. Parents think that by watching TV shows like Hip Hop Harry and Little Einstein’s and they learn a lot just by watching those show. My niece knows how to count when she was 1 turning 2 and she knows how to say he alphabets.
ReplyDeleteIts not right for children to watch tv under age 6 because as it seems children do not do good in school when they watch to much tv. But if you was to let a child under 6 watch tv I reackumand atlest 30 min to 2 hours. Its not much but there is a 30 percent chance if u start letting children under 6 start watching lots of tv when they get older and there still watching tv 3 out of 10 i going to losse there eye sight. So should children watch television I think not.
ReplyDeleteYoung children shouldn’t be able to watch TV. Young children shouldn’t watch TV because they might copy what the characters in a TV show do, like trying to fly out of a window. Another reason why Young children shouldn’t be able to watch TV is that they may get attention disorders, as the article stated, “that children who watch too much TV at a young age may be more likely to develop attention disorders.” and they may not be able to pay attention in school. They shouldn’t be to watch TV because young children need interaction with other people and the TV doesn’t provide that interaction that the children needs. One more reason why young children shouldn’t watch TV is that they may get their knowledge from fictional TV shows and they may have the wrong knowledge.
ReplyDeleteyoung people shoul wacth tv and then again young people should not wacth tv. I say that they should because some tv show's can help a young kid learn but also so they can help to laern the bad things you should not know about like how to hold a gun and how to fight they should know how to fight. but things have a limit to them but thats what i belived.
ReplyDeleteChildren should be able to watch TV. As the article said younger children brains develop quicker. So they can learn things after a while. They also need to be active. So the article is right about a set amount of time. They should watch TV for only two hours. This is my thought.
ReplyDeleteYoung children should be able to watch T.V but they have to have a time limit. Also they can learn more things from the T.V because now and days people are making TV shows educational. One reason I say that children should watch TV is because on paragraph 5 it says "My . . . little boy was [very] intelligent since birth," said one mother. "At one year old, he was putting his own DVDs in [and] skipping scenes [in a movie]. I thought it was a…good thing for him to have his own TV." Some people or children can learn how to spell, play games, sing, learn the ABC’s and learn how to count numbers. That is what I think that they should watch TV. Also my niece and nephew watch TV and they are smart but they don’t watch a lot of TV and they are very smart.
ReplyDeleteYes, young children should be able to watch TV. It only depends on what type of TV they watch. If it's something innappropriate like CSI. This shouldn't be allowed for the young children because the blood and the crimes involved in there isn't for toddlers. Only TV shows on the childrens level is what they should only watch. This is why on TV they have parent locks.
ReplyDeleteshould children watch tv. My answer for that is, no they should not, becuase the tings that are on television stays in people self conseince mind.
ReplyDeletepoeple like teens and that are like eight, or ten years old should start wacthing tv, and they should start slow. And what I mean by that is like GBH kids, or PBS kids.
My big answer for that is children should start reading more books then looking at TV.
Young children should be able to watch television but not to much of it. In my opinion young children should only receive 1 hour or 2 to watch television. The shows should be educational and fun, the child should be interested and not bored. Studies have showed that eight out of ten children watch television or play video games almost everyday. Children need to get out and socialize and be active, instead maybe they should read a book!!!
ReplyDeleteYes young children should be able to watch TV but only for a short period of time. When young children watch too much TV for a long time it begins to have an impact on them. For example… Some parents allow their children to watch scary or gory programs because they feel that kids can handle them. One mother said that her toddler watches the very sophisticated program "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." Another stopped her preschooler from watching the hospital drama "ER" after the child tried to give her little brother CPR. This is a good impact but there are some bad impacts for example if parents lets young kids watch whatever they want on TV and they see something bad then they might try to copy what they saw and that’s a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteYoung children both should and shouldn’t be able to watch TV. Children all across the world should be able to watch TV for educational reasons under the age of 6 years old. Children should watch inappropriate things on television at a certain age. Fortunately television has become more educational and appropriate for children. Due to what some parents may believe is or isn’t appropriate their children shouldn’t be able to watch. One parent said she only gave her child a TV to improve he’s skills.
ReplyDeleteYoung children should be able to watch tv because some children do learn from tv. Another reason why i think that young children should be able to watch tv is because they should have time to be rewarded. If children just work, work, work all day their brains will be worked up. The last reason why young children should be able to watch tv is because it does give parents a time to do what they have to do. Children can also calm down bywatching tv.
ReplyDeleteYoung children both should and shouldn’t be able to watch TV. Children all across the world should be able to watch TV for educational reasons under the age of 6 years old. Children shouldn't watch inappropriate things on television at a certain age. It is very Fortunate that television has become more educational and appropriate for children. One parent said she only gave her child a TV to improve he’s skills.
ReplyDeleteI am on both sides young children should and shouldn’t be able to watch television. The reason why is because it is a way of entertainment. Children should watch television all they want depending on what they are watching. If children is older then 7, then they should be able to watch television, but is there younger then 7 they shouldn’t watch as much television. They should watch about 2-3 hours a day, and only educational channels. The reason why I say no as much television for 7 year old is because they might try to do something they see on television and that’s a problem. If a children is older then 7 they should know not to copy what they see.

Should young children be able to watch television? I think it depends what they are watching. If they was watching a movie that has swears guns violent, I would not let them watch the tv. People saying that go ahead watch t.v. But that is my opinion what kids or not. My little brother he only watch sponge bob, fairy god parents and some M T V with me.
