The Influence Of TV On Children

One could hardly consider the welfare of children without also considering what they watch. And what they are watching is about eleven hours of TV per week.

The following is a candid look at what is happening to a nation of children. Your question, "Do I want a nation of children (mine and others) to be a part of this crowd and how can I fix it?"

Eleven hours of TV represents eleven hours of prime time in a little life and prime time for bonding. What are children bonding to? One thing is for certain. They are not bonding to parents and family or anything real. What they are bonding to at best, are cartoon heroes that talk like humans.

What children are bonding to is a false reality they cannot trust. Since when are cartoons real? And since when do animals talk like humans? Cartoon makers are sparing nothing in loading these artificial figures with human emotions and human appeal.

Perhaps even you have been influenced without even realizing it. - a world of deception that takes you out of reality and into a world of false priorities. One thing leads to another and first thing you know, there is a whole new culture that has never been seen in the history of mankind; an anti-reality culture based on cartoon heroes and animals that think and talk like people. Have we become more civilized or more deceived?

Has the cartoon world brought people to a new way of thinking, a new reality that takes their emotions for a train ride and drops them off in world of disaster?

There is another option. Teach children how to know life for what it really is. That way, they will have a belief system they can trust to be effective in real life situations.
