Nowadays children watch too much TV. Why is this happening and what can be done to prevent it?

All over the world, the number of children who are watching TV has increased drastically over the past few decades.

This

essay will discuss various reasons associated with

this

trend and propose possible solutions to prohibit

this

trend.

To begin

with, the main reason why children spend too much

time

watching

television

is that they do not have the required space to play outdoor games. Due to the space constraint in large cities, many public places

such

as parks and playgrounds have been converted into high rise buildings, which force the child to sit at home.

As a result

, they end up sitting for a long period of

time

watching cartoons and other entertainment programs. To tackle

this

problem, the politicians who can change the world must frame rules to set up parks and playgrounds across cities. If these facilities are provided,

then

children will spend their

time

playing outdoor games rather than watching

television

programs. Another reason for children to watch too much

television

is that their parents do not give proper attention to them.

This

is because both the parents are employed. Until their parents are back from their office, children are left alone at home, so rather than being alone, parents often allow their children to watch

television

. Unlike in the past where mothers take care of their children at home, the present generation has no one to look after their children. One way to tackle

this

problem is that parents should spend quality

time

with their children.

Conversely

, if they spend some

time

with their children,

then

they will stop watching

television

. In conclusion, the two problems associated with too much TV watching: the lack of playgrounds and the parent’s inattention that resulted from

this

trend can be mitigated if the government and parents implement the solutions proposed.
