    Surely everyone knows that television is good for children! Don't you? Well, I have a number of reasons to back up my answer.
    The main reason why watching television is good for children is because they have a chance to grow their imagination and explore the world through their TV. In addition, they also get to learn facts about things all around the world , as I know that Chichen Itza is 75 feet tall! If we don't watch television, how are we to know what is going on around the world? Furthermore, it is a chance for people to watch programs they like to watch! Now, you should know that watching television, is good for children!

    WATCHING TELEVISION IS GOOD FOR CHILDREN
    Watching television is good for children because:for example,if there was an education channel the children could learn about maths or English or Geography or whatever the channel is about and,what if the children didn't know about anything?They could learn from what the channel was teaching them.Furthermore,they could rest whilst watching it because if they just came back from school and they were tired,they could rest by watching television.What if you were a child with a stern mum who never let you watch T.V. and you just wanted to slouch on the couch and watch T.V. but your mom shouted at you saying"your not aloud to watch television,how many times do I have to tell you!" Wouldn't you feel depressed wouldn't you feel angry,sad,upset?

      There are many reasons to believe that television is not as good for children as you think! Did you know that there are many educational books that children could read instead of learning from the television? Wouldn't it be better for children to learn from books? In addition, reading would improve their language skills.

      Surely you agree that television IS good for children?There are loads of educational books but,they don't have as many challenging questions in them as the television does!In addition,television is also relaxing for children and if the children don't watch T.V. it can ruin their social life and their relaxation!

    As TV is known for entertainment and information but I believe that if children watch more of the "terrible TV" they will become less active and have health problems. Another reason is most but not all TV shows are violent so, once watching the violent show children may become violent. Don't you think after children look at some toys on TV they want to buy them regardless. Most importantly, effects children performances in their homework/schoolwork.

      Television is not as good as you think it is!Furthermore, parents can't keep an eye on what children are watching because they have lots of things to do. Don't you think, children can learn things from educational books, practice papers and by exploring nature?In addition, rather than watching the treacherous TV children can PLAY for relaxation.

    Why television is bad for children.

    I strongly believe that television if bad for children because if children watch to much they will have to wear glasses.You wouldn'the want your child to have glasses,would you?In addition your child wouldn'the have time to learn. Your child has to finish there homework at the right time. Would you want your child to be in detention if they didn't not finish there homework on time just because they were watching television.
    I hope you agree with my opinion. By Arjun

    I agree with the statement “watching television is bad for children.”

    My personal opinion is that television is bad for children’s learning because it is a major distraction from studies. Would you like it if you have a test and television distracts you from practising? When children are unsupervised whilst watching scary movies they can get nightmares! This makes the children not get a good night’s sleep which leads to a bad start of the day. These children can’t focus, think properly and will be tedious throughout the day. Furthermore, I strongly believe that watching violent cartoons or movies will turn them heinous. In addition, watching a lot of television can damage the eyes. Would you like it if your eyesight becomes bad? Also, watching a lot of television can cause a diversion in a family and may reduce quality family time. Another reason is, watching too much television can make a child additive towards it, and as a result children don’t move around which means no exercise, an unhealthy lifestyle.

    I hope I have been successful in persuading you that “watching television is bad for children.”

    Surely you will agree that watching TV is good for children. Don't you think? Firstly, I THINK WATCHING TV IS GOOD FOR CHILDREN because when the day has gone and they've done work all day they need a break from all that hard work. Another reason is that their programme might start and they don't want to miss that, do they? Surely you will understand all this. What if they want something but don't know what they want? Well they've got the brilliant and smart tv. Most importantly, some programs
    can be very educational and it can really help the children in their learning at school.

    WATCHING TELEVISION IS BAD FOR CHILDREN

    Surely you agree that watching too much TV will strain your eyes. If you were watching a scary movie it can give you NIGHTMARES!.
    This may affect your sleep.
    Everybody knows that if you are unable to get good sleep, you will always feel tired. Furthermore this will adversely affect you health.


    You can forget all the things you have learnt in school if you watch too much TV and another reason is you can not concentrate in school which could lead you to lower progress. Lower progress may get you trouble like "Detention"
    Furthermore the program will keep on playing in your head because of that you may not be able to work properly.


    When you are watching TV and someone approaches you,you can ignore the person easily which would imply that you are a rude person.
    Watching TV for limited time could be good if you watch with your
    family. You should watch educational program that will help you to enhance your knowledge.
    Sometimes when you watch inappropriate programs it may encourage
    improper behaviour don't you think that?

    WATCHING TELEVISION IS BAD FOR CHILDREN.

    The reasons I believe watching too much television is bad for children is because their brain won't work properly. Another reason is that if they watch television for more than 3 hours they will forget about work and furthermore they will have a"f" on a test.How would you feel if you got a "f" on a test in school? Spending too much time will destroy their eyes and you would have to waist money to buy glasses. Every body knows that if children get their eyes damaged and watch even more they won't even recognise it is night time.If they damage their eyes even more they won't be able to see.

    Why television is good for children:

    Surely you agree that children should watch TV because it helps their imagination grow. If you watch TV you can watch things like Mr Maker were you learn to get creative in art. In addition, you can learn about animals, the world and see animals do things that we never knew about in programmes like Planet Earth. You wouldn’t normally see lots of flamingos running across the water in the UK but you can see the funny flamingos on TV! Some TV programmes like thunder mans, and those TV shows makes us laugh and be happy especially when they do silly stories. If we watch sport then it encourages us to play some and watch competitions in other countries that you can’t go to; Rugby, Olympics in Rio and the World Cup.
    That’s why I think TV is good for children!

    Everybody knows that watching television is bad for you because it could strain your eyes a lot. It is clear that watching television is bad for children because you could learn very rude things from it if its not child friendly. The truth is that watching too much television is bad for children because it stops you from spending quality time with your friends and family. I strongly believe that watching television is bad for you because it stops you from studying properly and concentrating. My personal opinion is that watching television is bad for children because you can get distracted by it so when your parents ask you to stop, you might not be listening. I am absolutely certain that watching television is not good for you because you might also learn swear words from them if not watching child friendly programmes.

    Try going outside you will have a blast playing in the park and making new friends.
    Furthermore, children should not be watching too much TV because they might not go to bed and get enough sleep. How would you and your parents feel if you? Started doing bad in your classwork and falling behind. so try and watch less TV

    why watching television is good for children:

    Surely you agree that watching TV is good for children because it gives you ideas. If you are watching Mr Maker or drawing programmes which you can practise and improve your skills. Furthermore,it is really FUN to do so. If you're playing football on the ground you may get tired,but you can play the same football game on TV without getting tired. Also, we can play video music on television and dance to them with your brothers and sisters. Moreover you can watch funny people doind funny things and you can laugh forever. How would you feel if you had to worry about whether to watch TV or not...

    Watching TV debate.

    Surely you agree that it is hard to avoid television if you are a child.

    Watching TV is not Good.

    The truth is that TV is not having a good effect on children because of all the negative information like violence in movies or from the news and use of bad language, even songs have some adult images that are a bit too much for children. Furthermore, these are having a negative influence for children because they can be more aggressive and don 't behave so well. Watching TV too much it can affect children's attention to family and teachers because it is hard to swap from learning by watching to learning by listening. Sometimes when watching TV children can have junk food and it's not good for health.I believe we should be playing, running or jumping or any other outdoor games, if not reading books is awesome.

    Watching TV is Good.
    The good thing about TV is that some programs can inform ,educate and inspire, even better than books. For example, showing how plants grows or how to bake a cake. I like "daVinci Learning" or "Finger Tips", because I can learn many crafting ideas and find out interesting things about everything in this world.

    There are many reasons to believe that watching TV is bad for children.Firstly it could strain your children's eyes.How would you feel if your child woke up in the middle of the night and said that he had a really bad nightmare.TV should not be watched by children because if a really cool TV show is about to start your child would not want to sleep he would want to watch the show.If children watch to much TV they won't concentrate on there studies so i am sure you will agree with me that children should not watch TV!
