Children should be allowed to watch television on school nights.
I Strongly believe that children should be allowed to watch television on school nights.
When children see their favourite characters engaged in fun activities, they are inspired to go and do the same activities. Such activities as going outside to play sport with their friends and/or family. As children see their favourite characters making positive choices, they will be influenced in a good way. Parents can also point out positive qualities that characters demonstrate and thereby start valuable family discussions.
If children watch there programmes it will make them tired ready to go to sleep, then they won’t need to get up when parents are watching television. Watching television can be relaxing for children to wind down after working hard at school.
Children should be allowed to watch television on school nights because if they don’t children will miss there shows on television. There are programmes that are educational for children to watch for example the ‘Animal Planet’ which explains how animals live and survive. By watching television children can explore places, animals or things they couldn’t see otherwise. Most children are not able to visit the rainforest or see a giraffe in the but many children have seen these things on television. Through watching educational programmes children can learn and gain a greater appreciation of our world and the animals and other people who inhabit it.
This is why I think that children should be allowed to watch television on school nights. Television can help children to see how fun learning can be and establish a habit of finding out more when things interest them.
