Children today spend more time watching television than they did in the past. Describe some advantages or disadvantages of television for children

Nowadays, there is no doubt that

children

want to watch

television

more than ever before.

However

, the act of

children

watching

television

also

has advantages and disadvantages that people should consider properly. I will explain both of them in the

next

paragraphs. One of the benefits of

television

for

children

today is that there are a lot of added attractive images, sounds and motions in

television

programs.

Therefore

, when

children

see them, they can develop their worldview and improve their creative thinking

further

than only reading the textbooks. From my experience, when my son views TV shows for kids

such

as the life of animals, cartoons,

then

he has more creative questions and creates extensive imaginary stories to tell with his friends.

This

is a good thing for developing

children

’s imagination.

However

, when

children

spend more time watching

television

, there will be many drawbacks

their health. One of the health issues is that it causes

children

’s eye problems.

As a result

,

children

will suffer from nearsightedness or farsightedness or astigmatism, which will lead to so that them not seeing clearly at an early age. In my case, my nephew usually watches the small screen for over 8 hours every day,

thus

he was nearsighted from 6 years old.

This

is obviously not good for

children

like him. In a nutshell, watching

television

has both advantages and disadvantages for

children

. To leverage the benefits, I think parents should keep their eyes on monitoring the watching time of

children

so that

children

should watch

television

programs less than 2 hours every day and have breaks at intervals of every 15 minutes.
