Some people say that parents should places restrictions on the hours their children spend watching TV and playing computer games, and encourage them to spend this time reading books instead. Do you agree or disagree?
It has been a ubiquitous phenomenon that most children use their free
time
to play video
games or watch TV
in the current society. Some people advocate that parents should allow children to read more books and restrict them from using technology products. Which approach would be the most suitable for children? This
essay will discuss my view in detail with supporting examples.
On the one hand, there is a proclivity to believe that children who watch too much TV
and play video
games will have a detrimental effect. Mainly this
is because these TV
shows and video
games are easy to get addicted to them. For instance
, video
games usually design a lot of levels that allow players to spend considerable time
to solve them, and TV
shows are highly entertaining, that makes children reluctant to leave. As a result
, there would undoubtedly be a significant impact on children's physical and mental health when parents' do not set up restrictions on video
games and TV
time
.
In addition
, one should consider that children can benefit from reading, such
as increasing reading speed, learning more words, and developing an abundant imagination. In other words
, the description of the story can help children to create different pictures and sounds in their minds, which can improve their creativity. Take my own story as an example: when I was a child, I like reading detective novels because the descriptions in the books were highly vivid. I would imagine myself how to crack the case if I was the detective in the book. Therefore
, such
influence would definitely have a valuable contribution to children's character training, which may even affect their future learning and career development.
In conclusion, albeit limiting children's time
on TV
and video
games may deprive them of their fun, it would be more beneficial in their life in the long run. In my view, if parents show as a role model to turn off the TV
and read books with their children, they would naturally cultivate reading habits from an early age.Submitted by lala.kulmala on
