This is why it is important for parents to be careful and exercise caution about the television programs that kids get to watch. Even a harmless looking child entertainment program might have high doses of violence packed in it, which is not suitable\u00a0to\u00a0the audience.\u00a0And as\u00a0kids\u00a0it is hard to avoid television and most parents also see it as the best way to keep their child busy, so kids get hooked to the idiot box, early in life. Many parents also introduce kids early to video-based learning assuming it makes the child smart. But have you ever wondered how TV really affect children? Are you guilty of letting your child stay glued to the television or other subscription videos? How true is it that television watching is good for the child?<\/p>\n<p>The bad news is, a majority of child development experts believe that TV\/video-driven culture has adverse effects on kids and might be a contributing factor to dull kids. Here are a few ways in which TV addiction is harming your child.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- 2nd test --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9595551360736809\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6399291002\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oyspa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/194mp5x6ydwkwjpg.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-979\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oyspa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/194mp5x6ydwkwjpg-300x169.jpg?resize=300%2C169&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Negative behaviour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Television introduces kids to various vices in the society, that they might not know off otherwise. Many television programs tend to glorify negative habits like smoking, alcohol, drugs, etc., which leave a long lasting impact on the child\u2019s brain, which is easy to\u00a0moldand shape as pleased. So, it is important to make sure that kids are not exposed to content that might lead them in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n<p>So, sit down and think about all that your child could be doing if she\u2019s not glued to the television screen. Anything from reading a book, play outdoors, build something with the help of an activity box, explore new things, etc., rather than stay still all day and do nothing. It\u2019s time to turn off the TV and get your child to do something productive. Here\u2019s a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.magiccrate.in\/blog\/parenting-guide\/tv-habit\/\">guide<\/a>\u00a0to help you with your child\u2019s Television addiction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No activity-based learning<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>There\u2019s nothing valuable that the television could offer to kids less than 2-years-old.\u00a0In fact,\u00a0it hinders in the developmental process as it takes away the time that could be spent in activity-based learning. Toddlers learn through play and indulging in activities is the key to overall development in this age. When you let your child watch television, you\u2019re taking away all the time she could spend playing, learning, and growing from her. So, make sure she gets some real interaction \u2013 with people and things and learn, rather than letting her stay glued to the screen and assume that she\u2019d learn from what she gets to see on a video screen. Your child is more likely to learn how a boat works if he makes one, rather than watching Rob make one on M.A.D.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oyspa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/in_the_glow-4ea8695-intro.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-980\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oyspa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/in_the_glow-4ea8695-intro-300x200.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>No skill development<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kids need to develop various important skills like language, creativity, fine and gross motor skills, and social skills, which can happen only through play, exploration, and conversation with real-life situations, and television takes away all this.
