Television has become a major emphasis in children’s lives. In an effort to explain the impact television has had I will review the current information related to research and studies that have been conducted to learn what impact television has on a child’s mental and social development.
Young children do not understand the difference between reality and television
There is a noticeable difference in a child’s brain with ADD than a child at a normally developing attention span
Studies have shown there is a correlation to the number of hours spent watching television and the child having ADD
Television does not encourage natural play and interaction for
children
Studies have shown that only 1% of non-US
participants had ADHD and nearly
11% of US children had
ADHD
Children, who watch three or more hours of television per day are at
risk for attention problems
The negative affects that
television has on children’s
emotional and social
development.
Thinking and speaking are directly connected
Children need interaction
television is for
entertainment not
education
Television is to the brain as
candy is to the body
Television should be handled the same way every other item is handled in a child’s life… it should be age appropriate and should not
be the be-all and end-all to a child’s life
