Should children be allowed to see more of tv or not?

For me, children should be allowed to watch the tv but it should be under supervision their parents.Normally, when our child watching the tv, it can be help for their growth and built their mind to start thinking something new.

Hi there I think children should be allowed to watch TV.under this conditional they have finished their homework or something they have to do.When i was a child my father always limited us to watch TV.I was so angry in that time.I have do many homework.So now i think Wtach tv is not a bad thing.Just don't let them spend too much time on it and i think it will learn more knowledges from tv

I allow my child to watch tv. But of course there is a limitation. Usually during classes, my child can watch tv for as long as he has finished all his assignments and have finished studying his lessons. During weekends he can watch longer compared to weekdays. For me there is no problem for a child to watch tv, the important thing is discipline and responsibility.

I belong to a generation where children played together in playgroungs, had physical activities, ate three or four times a day and saw TV for maybe an hour a day. I would expect them to pick their program, accept it and then that was it. They had chores at home, read books, did homework. None of my children has weight problems and they did wonderful ay school. I think TV is just another way of getting children out of the way. The problem is that we are making obese robots

I believe that television watching should be either a family thing or a "reward". I wasnt brought up that way, I watched television in the morning, after school, at night, and I HAD to watch it to fall asleep, which was horrible. I am much different now. But Ive seen my nephew, who is only 8 and he is severely addicted to television and video games, and his parents can barely get him to play outside, which is ridiculous! My husband and I agreed that when our kids are old enough to understand (like in a year or so), they will not be able to watch their shows/cartoons until a certain time of the day, and not for very long. Otherwise we will try "family time" where we watch it together, like a movie. Also another idea was using it as a reward if they didnt something good.

yeah ! tv help =s children to gain more knowledge instead of reading books and only books.. almost i spend 4 hours daily to watching tv like national geographic, History and discovery channel

everything is permisible but not everything is beneficial. As the same is true for all good things, the key will always be moderation. Too much of everything is harmful. Restrictions can discourage people or promote ill feelings. I think the adult should control the children, not the children controlling the adults.

Children should be allowed to watch some tv, but they need to be responsible in their chores and homework first and also get enough exercise in. I don't know why tv gets such a bad wrap. I have learned a lot from tv and not just educational channels. I have learned a lot of words, so tv I know can help build vocabulary.

depends on what they're watching
