The popularity of the TV cannot be denied, especially among youngsters. What is used to be called the “idiot box” is actually a great source of information for the children. However, it should be made clear that while TV sets seem rather indispensable in these times, there are many risks attached to TV watching. As a parent you must monitor closely that the programs that your little ones are watching are only those shows that are educational and child-friendly.
Media exposures have a strong negative and positive influence on children. Media can shape a kid’s attitude in a positive way by emphasizing cooperation, tolerance, respect, and other socially constructive behavior. On the other hand, negative effects include violence, initiation to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, obesity, and early exposure to sexual behavior.
It would be nice to watch TV as a family. Pick out a particular day of the week as “TV watching with the entire family” day. Then make sure that you are gathered together on that day. Encourage your kid to choose the shows the whole family will love to watch on that day.
There are many wholesome comedy shows for the whole family to enjoy and to laugh with together; because laughter brings the family closer, it increases the level of energy and brings out the spirit of cooperation especially among children. It enhances family relationships and supports both physical and emotional health.
If your children are experiencing some degree of pain, just turn on the TV and switch the channel to something funny. You’ll be surprised to see that your kids will be able to better cope with the pain. It would really be nice if your kids look forward to family TV day as much as you do.
It’s not the kind of shows that you watch that’s really important at all. Your kids can choose to watch just about any TV show that grown-ups will also enjoy. What’s really important is the time spent with each other. Just think of how it would make you feel to gather together in your living room and laughing all the way.
If you want your kids to have a healthy disposition in life, let them watch comedy shows of good quality with you. Because it relieves stress, your kids are able to develop a positive outlook in life.
Doing things together as a family, even by just watching a comedy show and laughing out loud as one, is a well learned lesson for the kids; learn to laugh, don’t take things so seriously, and lighten up.
