Some TV programmes, video of violent games and other leisure activities are harmful on children. How harmful they are? What can be done to solve these problem?

Certain

TV

shows, violence in

video

games and recreational activities

such

as playing cards may prove dangerous to the children. Indulging in these activities may lead to

health

-related problems, and parents and

government

intervention could be the most viable solution to deal with these issues. The foremost problem caused by watching the addictive television series, playing

video

games with aggressive visuals and participating in certain fun games is the detrimental effect on physical and mental

health

. With regards to physical

health

, the majority of the children spend most of their

time

on the

TV

, indoor and

video

games by neglecting physical exercise.

As a result

, they become the victim of child obesity and visionary problems.

In addition

to

this

, children try to mimic the adventures of their superheroes at home and end up injuring themselves.

For instance

, In 2000, after watching the popular Indian fiction series called 'Shaktiman', most of the school children jumped from the skyscrapers with the hope that their superhero Shaktiman would come to rescue them. As far as the mental

health

of the children is concerned, exposure to the horror programmes at a tender age may scare a child and he may develop a phobia, which sometimes prolongs a whole life. At the same

time

, playing violent games

such

as PUB-G, where players kill each other in the virtual world with the guns may pave the way to destructive mindset and negative thinking. To address these problems, parents' involvement in their children's activities and regulating laws by

government

is imperative. It is the responsibility of the parents to keep a watchful eye on their children and the

content

they are watching. One way to execute

this

is to change the privacy settings of the

TV

channels in their absence. At the same

time

, they should

also

teach them to learn the difference between the real and the imaginary world. Parents should

also

encourage their children to participate in outdoor games and stay active in sports. As for the

government

role, the administration should restrict the

time

to broadcast the sensitive

content

at prime

time

and must anticipate the consequence of any show before broadcasting it on the television.

This

is how parents and

government

could work together to mitigate the aforementioned problems. In conclusion, there might have serious

health

hazards of some irrelevant

content

broadcasted on televisions, destructive

video

games and fun games played by the youngsters.

Therefore

, it is the respective duty of the parents and

government

authorities to supervise the children's activities and control the

TV

content

.
