Children nowadays watch significantly more television than those in the past, which reduces their activities levels accordingly. Why is this case? What measures can you suggest to encourage higher levels of activity among children?

Nowadays, people start complaining about the excessive

usage

of television by their children as compared to earlier times.

Also

, with

this

, their portion of time for physical things got minimised.

Nevertheless

,

this

essay will

further

highlight its causes and

further

discuss the measure to promote more activities.

Firstly

, watching television rises magnificently these days and due to which physical activity time has reduced drastically among youngsters, due to advancement in technology. Earlier, there were limited shows broadcasted on TVs,

however

, the android TV comes with numerous features like internet connectivity and allows users access to on-demand shows. Like, any movie or series can be watched anytime by which youth got more addicted and neglect going out for outdoor games like football, cricket, etc. To illustrate, the Samsung android television is internet enabled device and has various applications

such

as Netflix, Amazon prime and Youtube, which come with a huge database of movies, shows, cartoons, etc.

Therefore

, more hours have been spent watching movies, rather than going out to play and getting involved in any physical exercises.

Furthermore

, to restrict the

usage

of these devices, parents should attentively keep an eye on their children.

This

should be done by restricting their access to TV and enrolling them in some leisure activity classes like dancing, swimming, etc. By doing so, they can maintain the

usage

and protect their child from its side effects.

For example

, my niece's mother has fixed her daily screen time only to one hour and the remaining day, she goes for bhangra classes. Though

this

measure will not only encourage higher levels of activity among youngsters,

this

will

also

protect them from the negative impact of excessive

usage

of TV. In the conclusion, technology gets updated day by day, in my opinion, parents have the ultimate authority and direct influence on their children, through which they can restrict them.
