Children and Television Violence

While television can be a tool for learning and an outlet for fun, some programs also can affect children negatively. Youth who see violence on television may become less sensitive to others, be more fearful of the world or act more aggressively. View at least one episode of the shows your child watches. Share your ideas and values about their programs as you sit together. If there is violence, discuss alternative ways to solve problems. Depending on their age, restrict viewing to educational shows or those that promote friendship. By taking an interest in your child’s television viewing, you can help them understand the world in a more healthy and realistic manner.
