It is a fact that television sets is becoming a fixture in most rooms of our houses, it’s no wonder that children are already starting to show in school the negative effects that much exposure to TV shows has. One of the doctor said that, children who have TVs in their bedrooms are more prone to bad behavior and alienation, which should come as a warning signal that parents should start taking a more active role in their children’s lives.

Many youngsters start school without even being able to hold a normal conversation because they communicate so little with their parents. Most of the kids also have TV sets in their bedrooms and spend countless hours in front of them, even doing homework and having dinner with the TV switched on. The downside to this is that children are more aggressive towards each other, engaging in the type of conflicts that they should not even be familiar with at their age and employing the vocabulary they see in comedies and reality shows.

More types of behavior encouraged by TV shows, in the sense that children who watch too many of them feel compelled to emulate, are swearing, causing a scene by storming out of the class and talking back to the teachers. Too much exposure to TV also leads to alienation, in that kids are not able to properly communicate with anyone, be them a child their own age or someone older, like a parent or a teacher.
