How addicted has America become to television? The numbers are disturbing but hardly surprising. In the typical American household, the television is on for more than 7 hours a day. The average American child spends more time watching TV than attending school. By age 70, the average person will have spent 7 to 10 years of his life watching television.
Just think of all the other things we could be doing to improve ourselves and the country—bike riding, volunteering at a soup kitchen, reading, gardening, playing—instead of sitting frozen in front of TV shows that are often violent, often cruel, and often meaningless.
How troublesome has it become? Increasingly, the television has been moved from the family room into the kitchen and into children’s bedrooms, often acting as a baby-sitter or substitute friend. Americans now average 2. 4 TVs per household, according to the last census. And the effects are destructive: Studies show that television can contribute to poor grades, obesity, and sleep and behavior problems in children. But that’s not all: TV violence is epidemic. Before finishing grade school, the average child will witness about 8,000 murders depicted on TV. Experts and scientists can debate whether such viewing changes how children act, but let common sense prevail here. Do we really want our children to see this much violence and hatred, especially in the name of entertainment?
Taking TV out of their bedrooms is a first step toward limiting the amount of television your children watch. Plus, in one-set home where the TV is in a central location, it’s easier for parents to monitor what their kids are watching and how long they’re watching. Also, keeping television out of the bedroom means that kids’ rooms are sanctuaries(圣堂)where they can study or read without distraction. In that vein, if you have young children, read to them. Children who are read to be more likely to do better in school and to read themselves.
Besides, the time you spend reading together is the kind of quality time that watching television can never replace. Watching television is still a good way to view movies as family, keep up with breaking news, learn about nature’s wonders, or laugh together at silly cartoons and sit-coms(情景喜剧). But keep your household’s viewing in check. TV should be just one among many entertainment outlets for your family. [br] What should we do for children if we expect them to perform well in school?
