It is no doubt that watching television has a huge effect on people of all ages especially for children. Although some of these presents less or no value for the young viewers, I believe that there are TV shows that intends to present educational values for children on their programs. Ċ Many TV network companies are telecasting basic mathematical and alphabetical equations programs everyday. Take "ABC For Kids" on channel 10 in Australia for example, they are targeting young audiences of the society to watch and learn from these shows and hoping that they can use this knowledge when in class. Also, children can learn to sing and dance by seeing entertainment programs on TV. These are some ways of showing that there are significant values gained from watching the television. Ċ In addition, many parents predisposed their children to watch television shows that oversee the value of life, family and friends. These parents use television to bond with their children as well and take this opportunity to watch and at the same time answer the questions of the young innocent minds with regards to love, care and respect for instance. Some programs also show how kissing and hugging a crying person supports them in the time of need for example, proves that by watching television this can be imitated by children.
