Avoid TV If You Want Kids to Achieve

Parents should be more careful about television. Placing the television in a child's room will give them 24 hours of access to turn on the television, while the parents will have difficulty controlling. Too often access to television can have a negative impact on the physical, psychological, and socialization of children.

Indian Express page reported, there is a new research on putting the television in the child's room. Some activities on the television monitor can be accessed easily, one of them playing a video game.

Based on a study written in The Journal of Developmental Psychology by Professor of Psychology from Iowa State University, United States (US) Douglas Gentile, television in the child's room will reduce their time sleeping, reading, to participate in social activities. This will affect the increase in education level.

"When children turn on television in their rooms, they will not watch educational games or anything like that," Gentile said. But the child will actually watch the opposite event.
