Some of the populations consider that family plays an important role in a child's development. While others think that the media,
such
 as television, music, the internet influence children more. In my opinion, I would say that both sides make sense, and it
also
 depends on the living environment and parents' educational policy. In the traditional family, fathers used to be a breadwinner, and mothers tend to stay at home and take care of their children. In my personal experience, my parents did not allow me to watch TV nor play online games for most of my childhood. In order to help me pay more attention to the school's subjects, which made me a little bit stressed, but I feel appreciated when I grew up.
However
, spending time in the entertainment properly might
also
 help us to become more efficient. As the study says that people's brains need to rest every 35 minutes of paying attention.
On the other hand
, thanks to the development of technology, it becomes easier to absorb information from all kinds of media. The channels today have become more optional but some channels might be not appropriate for kids.
Besides
, youngsters love watching the same programs or listening to a common style of music with their peers. Which brings them a sense of stability. Some of the nations think that a new style of music, like, rap may be unsuitable for young people, due to the violent lyrics.
However
,
that is
also
 the way that youth could express themselves. In conclusion, both family and other factors play a great role in children's development. For me, if the parents could teach their kids well and
also
 provide them useful information in different ways. It would be helpful for their growth and brings more happiness.
