Television attention effects negative

  • Television can affect learning and school performance if it cuts into the time kids need for activities crucial to healthy mental and physical development: the Canadian Pediatric Society recommends that school-age children should watch no more than two hours of television per day, with less than one hour being ideal, and that children should not have access to television in their bedrooms
  • How much impact TV has on children depends on many factors: how much they watch, their age and personality, whether they watch alone or with adults, and whether their parents talk with them about what they see on TV.To address the potential negative effects of television, it's important to understand what the impact of television can be on children. Below you will find information on some areas of concern.ViolenceOver the past few decades, hundreds of studies have examined how violent programming on TV affects children and young people. While a direct "cause and effect" link is difficult to establish, many studies have suggested that some children may be vulnerable to violent images and messages.

Television Hinderance

  • Despite marketing claims that some television programs and DVDs help infants and toddlers learn, recent studies show that TV provides only empty calories for a child’s growing brain.
  • A large body of research shows that too much television can have negative effects on children’s behavior, achievement, and health.
  • In addition to reporting young children’s increased exposure to television, these studies have also discovered that TV in the first three years of life can have a negative impact on healthy development: Infant exposure to television has been linked to delayed language development and kindergarten readiness skills. 15,16 Early exposure to TV has also been connected to attention disorders and sleep problems. 17,18 TV use at age three has been linked to behavior problems and to long-term effects on social development, classroom engagement, and academic achievement. 14,19,20

  • Most researchers agree that meaningful learning from television is unlikely before age three, when children begin to understand the relationship between TV and reality.
  • Advocates of infant-directed programs and videos claim that these products can benefit children. Most are marketed as educational tools that promote brain development and cognitive skills. 11 In a survey of over 1,000 families, parents shared their reasons for allowing their infants and toddlers to watch TV and videos. The most common reason was the belief that “the television and video programs that I have my child watch teach him/her something or are good for his/her brain”. 13 However, claims like these are not supported by research. Studies generally find that for children younger than three years, television, videos, and DVDs are not effective teachers. 21,22,23 Even worse, they may crowd out healthier activities and set the stage for heavier television use throughout childhood. 12 Based on these concerns, the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) recommends that children under age two do not watch television, and that older children watch only one or two hours of quality programming. 24
  • Numerous studies have shown that babies learn better from people than from pictures. For instance, infants and toddlers who see a live demonstration of a simple task are more likely to remember it than those who watched a video of the same task.
  • Many educational programs and videos for infants and toddlers claim to benefit children by providing opportunities for parent-child interactions. Research provides several reasons why this is unlikely to be true: Even during children’s first three years, educational content makes up only half of what they watch. 13 When the television is on, even in the background, parents talk and play with their infants less often. When they do, they are less attentive and engaged. 4,15 Even when children are watching programs and DVDs designed to promote interaction, parents watch with them less than half the time.
  • A heavy diet of television provides only empty calories for a child’s growing brain. Active, hands-on play and warm, responsive parenting nourish children’s early development. Because more time in front of the screen means less time for play and shared activities, TV’s increasing presence in the daily lives of young children has dire implications. The evidence is clear: Parents and caregivers of infants and toddlers can promote learning, achievement, and health by taking television off the menu.

  • Television has the power to affect one's voting, shopping, and eating habits along with one's political or social viewpoints. In fact recent studies have shown that violence on television is related to "subsequent violent behavior" (Hall 311). With the wide grasp of television it would be rather surprising if television did not affect literacy.
  • Many scholars believe that television has no effect on the literacy rates in the United States. (Fowles 729) This topic has been through heated discussions and studies through the years but to no avail. Other scholars feel that television does affect literacy, either positively or negatively. What ever the case, this essay will examine a few of the viewpoints on television and literacy and then direct the emphasis on the theory that television does effect literacy negatively and purpose some alternate solutions
  • The displacement hypothesis is the most credible theory the notion that television does affect literacy. In order to understand the full spectrum of the problem and accept solution one must first recap the previous data. The Alwin study as reported by Glenn found a -.191 correlation between television and vocabulary. (Glenn 218) The results were similar to the -.20 correlation found in the Morgan and Gross study. (Hornik 195) The interesting point of this study was that the correlation was not only found with reading but also mathematics and language skills. Again the National Assessment study also reinforced the multiple correlations. (Hornik 195) The Hall study also supported this and can be read in the previous parts of this article. (Hall 312) The main point to be looked at here, are the multiple correlations. This shows that television is not only taking time away from reading but also mathematics, and other subjects. The displacement theory definitely is a useful tool in correcting the problems in which television can cause.

  • Researchers claim that attention deficit disorders in children are a result of watching television for long everyday. They say that watching television leads to developmental disorders, affecting that faculty of the brain which is responsible for language skills. Children who watch more television and read less, show difficulties in paying attention or concentrating. Children spending long hours in watching television are susceptible to being affected by attention deficit disorders.

  • Since the first television screens lit up our living rooms scientists have been studying its affect on young children. Now scientists have compared mother-child communication while watching TV to reading books or playing with toys to reveal the impact on children's development. The results show that watching TV can lead to less interaction between parents and children, with a detrimental impact on literacy and language skills.

  • According to a recent survey 90% of parents admitted their children under the age of 2 watch at least some form of electronic media. Further, the average amount of TV watched for children aged 2 and under is 1-2 hours a day.
  • However, based on the findings of recent research, the Amercian Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has made a “screen-free” recommendation for all children under the age of 2. The research was aimed at discovering any possible educational benefits as well as any harm in educational TV viewing for this age group. Here are a few of the key findings from this study: Because “educational” TV programs usually use content and context which does not yet make sense to children under the age of 2, the educational value of the program is void. Unstructured play trumps any form of electronic media in terms of encouraging brain development. Through unstructured play children learn creativity, problem solving, reasoning, and motor skills. Unstructured play also encourages independence by teaching children to entertain themselves. Young children learn best from actual interaction with humans, not TV screens. Even when parents watch TV and videos with their child to aid the child’s understanding, the child still benefits more from live interaction and instruction. “Background media” (such as parents own TV viewing) can also damage child development by distracting the parent and decreasing parent-child interactions. “Background media” can also distract a child during his unstructured play time. TV viewing around bedtime is especially destructive because it causes poor sleep habits and irregular sleep schedules which can negatively affect mood, behavior, and learning. Young children with heavy exposure to media often have delayed language development once they start school.

  • Too much TV can affect a child’s social skills immensely in a negative way. Children who do not get out of the house for at least an hour or two a day will be more likely to become a depressed teenager. Children who watch violent TV and play violent video games are twenty-five percent more likely to act out violent behavior in real life. Children who do not develop good social skills in their younger life will have a harder time in the workforce when they are an adult.
