Today children are spending much more time watching TV compared to the past. Is this a positive or a negative change ?

Over the

last

two or three decades, the way

children

spend their

time

has changed dramatically

due to

advancements in technology.

As a result

, they tend to spend more and more

time

watching cartoons and playing video games in the comfort of their

home

. Though, I understand the positive implications of

this

change, it does more harm than good because staying at

home

is not good for the

overall

development of

children

. To commence with, spending more

time

in front of a screen is harmful to

kids

because it becomes a barrier to the physical, moral and psychological development of

children

.

In addition

, watching TV programs restricts their capacity to think out of the box which influences their mental health negatively.

Moreover

, sitting at

home

doesn't enhance their communication and moral skills as they are not in touch with the outer world. Another worth considering factor is the sedentary lifestyle of

children

while

using screen

time

at

home

because it makes them lazy and sick.

Furthermore

, it would have adverse effects on their health because of no physical activity.

For instance

, it is widely acknowledged that

kids

who spend more

time

playing outside are healthier and fitter than

kids

who just watch cartoons or video games at

home

.

On the other hand

, the use of mobile phones or TV in a proper way can be beneficial for students to learn educational content and enhance their knowledge.

Moreover

, it can improve their auditory and visual skills and could help to concentrate better.

To conclude

,

Although

kids

can learn some useful information from the internet, I believe it makes them inactive and lazy and doesn't contribute to the

overall

development of

children

.
