Firstly
, letting children watch television on their own would expose them to random content which is not appropriate for their age

shows that could have a negative impact on them when they become older.
For instance
,
kids
under 15 years of age have been banned from watching
TV
in China.
Besides
, experts have done studies that showed that younger viewers’ eyes are more sensitive and will be harmed in the process of staring at the screen.
As a result

content has a pure purpose of entertaining and avoiding the process of thinking.
kids
will have a higher chance of learning more from reading or talking to adults about what is happening in their surroundings than from watching
TV
.
For example
, a study from 2008 that was done in Canada showed that from the ages 1 to 8 years old, children have proven to learn new topics in school by listening to their teacher and asking questions.

. In conclusion, there are better options for younger individuals when it comes to gaining new information
such
as reading, processing and talking about

content with others. In saying
this
, I do not agree with the statement above
due to
the fact that teaching happens in those moments that would benefit them better rather than staring at a screen.
