Some parents are worried about the increasing level of violence on TV, video games and other types of entertainment for children’s leisure. How does this affect children? How do you think problem can be tackled?

Raising

children

, in the best way possible, is usually on the top of parents worries. The increasing of

TV

shows and games addressed to

children

with violent content has been the reason for families worst nightmares latelly, and they are right to worry: specialists say that in early ages is when a person forms patterns behaviors, and many times, they do that by copying adults and other references,

such

as

TV

idols and prefered characters of a game. To face

this

problem, quality

time

with family and open space for conversation are some keys, that will be discussed in

this

essay. Starting with quality

time

, many parents have been given the responsibility for their child education to a

third

person . Some times, that

third

party can be an open door for a forth, fith and so on, and some of those paths may lead to a

TV

or a game teaching what should be avoided by

children

. Spending

time

with the chidren, playing off screens and getting to know them deeply, might work to help them judge better what they see and hear when a parent is not around. Another way to protect the young ones from getting seducted by computers and TVs is making space for them to talk freely, using their immagination to talk about dreams, fantasies and daily routine.

This

should

also

be a moment of connection between the child and the adult in charge. A

time

to build trust and selfsteam. A love connection, indeed. According to some news,

children

that feel cared are more confident and

therefore

, they don't feel so attracted to violence of any kind. To conclude, the peace of mind for parents may come from a very well known source: love. To make

time

to be with the

children

by playing with them and talking to them in a way that they know who to trust and what is better

then

violence, is what will make them safe to play games or watch

TV

without getting to envolved in its stories.
