For instance, children's cartoons average 25 violent acts per hour while adult prime-time television averages 5 acts of violence per hour.
Parents can help youngsters be more aware of the violence they see on TV and in movies.
When watching cartoons with your child, start counting the violent acts. Watching this can make people act mean. Discuss real and pretend. Make sure your child knows that when someone gets punched in real life it will hurt. Human bodies cannot withstand real violence.
