Is television a positive force in the lives of young children? That is the question many parents find themselves asking. They come home from work to see their child glued to the TV not willing to move for anything. What these parents do not realize is that many problems may occur from their children watching excessive amounts of TV. Problems such as loss of creativity , increased amounts of laziness and sudden violent attitudes and/or actions may result.

Creativity is an important trait for a young child to have. When growing up it helps a child's mind to develop, as they fantasize images of what they have experienced or are experiencing. When watching TV a child is entertained but also not thinking. The television hands information to them on a silver-platter. By watching too much TV your kid may end up rel

Along with losing creativity and gaining laziness , your child is more prone to behave violently. Children watching TV usually have heroes , for example "BugsBunny". When your child is watching the "Bugs Bunny Show" and they see Bugs get hit on the top of the head with an anvil and they realize that it does not even phase Bugs , they automatically think that the same would be true for them. But not knowing any better they see if it works and the child then becomes seriously injured or even dead. Also a child may see a villain on TV , scheming a plan to slay the hero or in the child's case a teacher . In Alabama , a nine-year-old boy was caught putting rat poison in a box of candy and then proceeding to give it to his teacher. The boy responded by saying he had seen it on the television the night before. These are examples of how television can affect a child.
