Is Television Good For Children?

What does you guys think, is television a good thing for children to be doing so much?
Well I think that children shouldn’t be watching as much television as they do these days. It is bad for their health, eyes and their mind as well. If I were a parent or whenever I become a parent I will not let my children watch a lot of television, even though right now I watch way too many shows to count. Hopefully by the time that I have children I will be out of this phase and will not be watching as much television as I do now. I believe that I get my television watching from my mother because she watches a lot of shows as well.

Children should not be wasting their time watching TV and playing video games because it is going to damage their body and minds. They should be outside playing and getting exercise when the weather permits them to do so. In the summer I think that children should be outside not cooped inside watching TV and playing games. They should play more board games and have more involvement in academics that way they do not end up being like me an addict. Parents should start this early and not get their children hooked on watching television so young. Keep your children active, put them is clubs and sports such as basketball, dance, gymnastics or anything that they are interested in that doesn’t involve electronics. It is beneficial for children to get exercise and to keep their minds active and television is not the answer to doing that.  If your children are watching too much TV it is time to do something about it.
