Compare this with reading a book. You have to read the words and think about what they say as the story develops. As you are reading you will be increasing you vocabulary , improving your spelling and developing your thinking skills . On the other hand it could be argued that there are educational programmes on TV. But unfortunately kids do not watch such programs. Instead they zap the remote control and tune into a quiz show, a crime program or a horror film. Worst of all , they at times watch some disgusting programmes that turns them into more violent and hostile . At times they get frightened and withdrawn.
Another problen with TV is that it is a solitary pleasure. This is made worse by the fact that roughly 35 % children have there TV sets in their bedroom , so they are not watching it with the rest of their family. It is no wonder then , that the couch potato generation has trouble making friends and getting on with people .
And it is getting worse . There is computer on which kids are spending too much of time nowadays. This means more exposure to violence , [ shoot-em-up games , fighting games and Alien blasting games and could allow them to link up to the internet which is totally uncensored and could be very dangerous and disturbing for children of this age.
So perhaps it is time for parents and teachers to start laying down a few rules.
- No televisions in bedrooms .
- Not more than one hour viewing per night.
- Spend more time reading.
- No TV snacks.
- Homework must be done first.
- No viewing after nine 'o clock.
- Take part in a healthy sport.
- Join a club such as scouts or guides. The computer should be used for serious and genuine work only.
- No games allowed on computer.
- Only parent-approved access to the internet shall be allowed.

Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.Proverbs 23:12,13,14

BIBLE SAYS :-
ReplyDeleteCorrect thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.Proverbs 29:17
लड़के की ताड़ना न छोड़ना; क्योंकि यदि तू उसको छड़ी से मारे, तो वह न मरेगा।तू उसको छड़ी से मारकर उसका प्राण अधोलोक से बचाएगा।Proverbs23:13
छड़ी और डांट से बुद्धि प्राप्त होती है, परन्तु जो लड़का योंही छोड़ा जाता है वह अपनी माता की लज्जा का कारण होता है।Proverbs 29:15
अपने बेटे की ताड़ना कर, तब उस से तुझे चैन मिलेगा; और तेरा मन सुखी हो जाएगा।Proverbs 29:17

ReplyDeleteYes for tv watching family should have rules.
70 percent Indians still earn daily 20 Indian Rupees that is less 1 dollar usa
Such rules are in place since the invention of Television.
ReplyDeleteAnd we are here 'mechanically repeating' the same in new platforms like Internet.
I am also victim of what you have narrated in yiur blog.most of the valuable time is lost in view TV and playing games on Tv. Good suggestion.

ReplyDeleteShivalika ji,
You have raised a very valid point. More than their interest , they watch TV because of constraint. But in this case parents can develope the habit of reading in them.

nice write
ReplyDeleteshould be proving
quite helpful for many parents .
I agree with your opinion. TV serves crime and frustration only. Once, My Nephew, hardly 9 years old, was watching TV, some crime investigation based serial, I switched off TV and suggested him to read books in his spare time to gain some knowledge. I astonished to see that suddenly he stood and tried to lift the TV and cried "I will ruin TV now, if you switched off again". I noticed his frustration that he collected from Crime Serials and connected with his day to day life.
ReplyDeleteSo parents should be more careful about what the children watching on TV and what is the time period.
Thanks for valuable post.
