Positive Effects of  Television on Children!!

Most of people think that television is both good and bad things. So, I researched about how do you think about television on children. Many people thought that television has more good things than bad things. I know that it is bad influences on children, sometimes. 

However, it shows us many educational, family, sports, news, documentaries, cultural, all around the world situations, and many good information. So, many people can get many information from the television. some of them said that television is very useful as a medium for knowing news across the world and can open up new worlds for children.

 It can have multiple positive impacts on the children. Also, it can help the them to build and develop imaginary skills and role playing ideas. They can adopt and copy the behaviors they witness on television, and when these behaviors are rewarded on television, they see them as positive and something they would like to model.

Family values can also be exemplified through television viewing, as can positive behavior, morals, and decision-making skills, so it can help children develop good habits. Television increases a children’s cognitive and growth, and it is important to monitor what children watch on television, as it can have positive effects on them. Communicating with children about what they watch is key to understanding what is going through their head. 

According to Uttara Manohar, even talk shows like Dr. Oz and Oprah can help children learn about in depth issues that their parents may not have knowledge about. Also, Carey Bryson who is children Movies and TV Guide in About.com Guide states that parents can challenge children to read a book with the promise of going to the theater or renting the movie when they finish it or children may see a movie and like it so much that they decide to read the book. And then they discuss the differences between the book and the movie to help kids develop thinking skills.

You can learn with video games

 

Good to your cognitive development

Playing video games is good for teenagers.

Actually, I thought video games has only negative aspect, but after I researched about positive effects of entertainments, I could know that it is not only negative aspect. It has also many benefits.

Today, I learned about even though video games have always been infamous for their anti-social aspect and the violence that is shown in them, video games can prove to be beneficial. Playing video games affect benefits which are developing in problems solving skills, analytical and estimation skills and quick decision making to young adults because playing video games include them. There are mamy benefits of playing video games. 

Playing games can develope critical thinking skills to young adults. so, they can make decision more exactly and quickly. Also, playing games in groups or online has proven to be a great way to connect with others in similar situations and with similar interests. In fact, most teenagers in this day and age are not actually playing alone, but regularly it chages large interractive groups. So, they can interact and communicate with many others.

 

Reading a book is good to your brain

Let's Read a book

Reading a book is one of the entertainment that I think because it can be enjoyed for fun to young adults. It provides them with information that they want on a wide variety of topics and entertains in a fascinating. Although reading itself is a rather personal experience, they get benefits from it. If you start reading in your children, I am sure you will notice its positive effects on your future personal development.

I researched that young adults can get to gain more knowledge by constant reading.While their knowledge is being built up bit by bit, they are also trained to think logically. By reading more, they learn to follow the logic presented by the reading materials. They will apply what they learn to the daily lives, analyze and react with their critical mind. Therefore, they will grow in this way and learn to be their own mentor.

 Also, an article states that reading can help nurture a better manner and attitude in young adults. I agree with it. Most of the time when they are reading, they need to sit alone and concentrate on their reading heart and soul. Reading takes one's patience. If they can learn to read patiently, theycan accomplish many other tasks with the same attitude in their life. Reading more certainly leads to better writing skills. The otherwise, they read mpre, they know about how to write better more.

When I was a teenager, I read a book named To kill a mockingbird. The story about the childhood innocence with Scout,Jem, and Dill. The novel is treatened by numerous incidents that expose the evil side of human nature such as Ewell who is unemployed member of poorest family and Tom Robinsen's trial.

When I finished to read the book, I could think it has many positive and negative aspect. But, I focused on positive aspect that is Atticus who is Scout and Jem's father and a lawyer is assinged to defend a black man who is Tom Robinsen against the superious rape chages Bob Ewell has brought against him. I thought Atticus was a great father. He was trying to teach his children good values, which was difficult in the town where they lived. He always had time for the kids and he tried to help them in the best way that he could. Although the children thought he was just satisfactory because he could not do all of the tigs younger fathers could do. Jem obviously had a strong relationship with his father and respect him, which becomes him more obvious as the time passes in the story. Also, He has respect not only for his children, but also for others, no matter what their social status in the community. Thus, I think he was a positive role model for his children. After I read it, I could learn many benefits from this book.I thought I will be a positive role model for my kids like a Atticus when I will be a moher. So, reading a book has many positive effects because we can learn many knowledges that I did not know and I was trained to think logically. So, reading a book is good to your brain.
