I do think that parents should limit TV-time. Below are reasons why I think the way I do.
Parents should limit the amount of time their kids watch TV because it can actually rot your brain. A rotted brain can cause loss of intelligence- which can then lead to horrifying school grades. If I were to reduce the amount of TV my kids would watch, I would reduce it to 10 hours a week or less because the average child, age 2-5 years old, can watch more than 32 hours a week of television! That can lead to really terrible grades

for when they take tests in school.
Another reason why parents should limit TV watching to their children is because too much TV can obliterate the ability to concentrate. If you can’t concentrate that well, paying attention in class would certainly be difficult. Then again, if you don’t pay attention in class, you are going to get very bad grades. Bad grades can lead to being kicked off (not literally) school-based sports’ teams.
Also, after just a few elementary seconds of watching TV, your brain slips into Hypnotic State. When this “Hypnotic State” is in action, it provides easy access to the
subconscious. That is one reason why it is easy to fall asleep while watching television. People who get too much sleep during the day can experience headaches in the morning. Parents who limit the amount of TV their kids watch could reduce the risk of headaches.
Those are 3 reasons why I think that parents should reduce the amount of TV their kids watch.
Want to read about other peoples’ opinions about limitations on TV? Here are some great ones:
Emily’s “Television Too Much For Youth?” I really like how Emily clearly explains her reasoning in a thorough explanation. She gives excellent examples throughout the whole piece of writing. Check it out, believe me, it’s worth it.
Mae’s “No More Television for you, Missy or Mr” In Mae’s post, she added her humorous personality into her post about her television opinion. It is good GREAT and entertaining to read, or have someone read to you. You should really check it out.
