When it comes to kids, parents, of course, would always want what is best for them. Yet, most of the times, with many different justifiable reasons of everyone defending the two sides of a topic, parents also sometimes get confused of whether a thing is right or wrong. For example, some people who are parents themselves may caution their co-parents for them not to allow their child, especially those in the toddler and kindergarten years to watch television. On the contrary, the experts would suggest that it is good for kids to watch television, given enough time and right programs to watch. In this case, the parents’ judgment is always advisable to use.
Nowadays, the television is being recognized as an indispensable educational medium. Through television, children can have fun, while learning to read and count, among others. Even babies, they start trying to utter new words from those they hear and watch in TV.
In making sure that the kids are watching the appropriate programs, the parent should make time sitting down with them. At the same time, if there arise questions from your kid’s mind, you are to readily answer or explain their queries.
On the other hand, parents should also be cautious in allowing their children to watch television with them. There are morning, evening and breaking news within the day, which should not be exposed to kids even when you are with them. As we all know, these news, most of the time, may show violence and unsuitable words. Parents should learn how to choose the right kind of programs which they themselves are comfortable to watch with their children.
Another role of parents is balancing the time of their kids between watching TV and other activities which can also help educate their children like reading books and playing around.
Always remember, the real expert when it comes to kids is the parents. Just always see to it that everything you do is for the best of your child.
