TV viewing is Not bad for Kids , IF the parents are responsible an Monitor the Shows they watch. Block the shows that Kids should not watch , an Maybe watch a Show with there kids , Something on Discovery , Animal planet, etc.

Answer 2

Regular color TV has a specific refresh rate that will shut down the active learning part of the brain and render the watcher in a sub coma-like state forcing information into the brain. There has been much science on this and it's link to the ever growing population of children who are ADD and ADHD.

You did not see ADD and ADHD often diagnosed in the 50's-70's because black and white television does not have the same damning effect as color tv does coupled with the refresh rate.

Refresh rate of television means that the picture isn't like a movie where you have several pictures slightly different causing a "moving effect". (It's why many kids can't sit still at a movie house, but can watch HOURS of totally unentertaining television) While television with it's 3 colors are actually "blinking" in patterns causing an effect of moving pictures. This blinking has also been known to cause seizures (brain stoppage) in millions of people, because it goes farther than just halting the active learning part of the brain, it halts the entire system.

When television is cut down dramatically or eliminated, ALL children in recent studies have done 60-80% better in school over a 1 year period.

I had researched this myself with some simple searches online a couple years ago and implemented low dose tv and video game watching in my own home.

Answer 3

shows like sesame street can be useful because it combines learning with fun activities.
tv can be useful so that as a parent u can get things done around the house, like cook meals, take a shower without interruptions, talk on the phone etc.......

its harmful when they sit in front of it all day long.
its harmful when they watch a grown up show.
its harmful when they get all these advertisements telling them they need this cool new toy because it is so much fun.

the way u worded your question made it hard for me to understand whether u wanted views on why its harmful or why it could be good. so i gave both views.
