Some people have advocated for a decrease in the time that people spend watching television. Why do you think they hold this opinion? What can be done to reduce the time that people, especially children, spend in front of television screens?

In recent times, most

children

spend more of their

time

in front of the screen.

This

habit can lead to negative effects on the life pattern of the

child

and

also

on the brain which is why some individuals have suggested a reduction in the

time

that people especially kids, spend in front of the

television

. The bright light which is emitted from the screen causes damage to the eyes,

this

is because of the

time

spent watching the program. Some parents allow their

children

to watch

television

the whole day to keep them in a place, to enable them to focus on other activities in the home without being disturbed.

However

, these light rays which are high

then

begin to destroy the cells in the eyes, leading to a high record of sight defects later in the life of that individual. Many young

children

become lazy

as a result

of constant watching of

television

. When watching these programs, all the

time

and concentration is devoted to understanding their content.

This

causes every other thing which needed to be done to wait until the end of the session. When the

child

grows up with

such

a pattern of life, the kid would prefer to do things that will be easier for them

such

as ordering food online or they resort to eating junk which causes more harm than good. Not because they cannot prepare the dish but because they have developed that attitude of laziness which could not be dealt with at later age. A lot of things can be done to decrease the

time

people spend especially

children

, watching

television

.

First,

early programming of the

child

can go a long way in the formation of the

child

. If the

child

,

while

growing up is always being timed on watching programs, he or she will know

while

growing up know that there is

time

for everything.

Secondly

, the

child

while

growing should be provided with storybooks and toys appropriate for each age bracket which will help in developing the

child

's interest.

While

this

is done, the interest diverts from always watching

television

shows to either reading or playing games which helps in cognitive development. In summary, early programming of the

child

while

growing up, plays an important role in declining the level of

time

spent on screen watching

television

which will later reduce the number of brain and sight damage being caused in the future.
