Many psychologists call him on television, "The Third Parent" for the tremendous influence it has on children and adolescents. We know it is a wonderful means of communication to deliver news, sports, cultural events, etc. and contributes to relaxation and entertainment for the entire family. But what are the dangers of immoderate use television? First, the "teleadicción" which is a daily dependence be looking for, without selecting the programs, but just watching, almost continuously, which "appears" in the various channels.
There are homes where the TV stays on all day, and consequently lose the communication and intimacy between family members, neglecting homework, you leave the love of reading, there are exercising physical, and in general, entails that the children are listless, apathetic and indifferent to the needs of the household (orders, requests for the sick, arrangements materials ...) for precisely this compulsion to be glued to the TV.
What considerations should take into account the parents? TV creates a passivity in that particular subject hardly reflects on the content submitted to it, but as a "sponge" will absorb all the images being presented. Mentally
the person loses concentration, creativity, imagination, exercising their memory, mental agility, the correct use of language, etc., Which is just opposite to the effects produced by the habit of good reading.
Moreover, children and youth are especially vulnerable to certain programs that are role models or icons to follow where the main characters, subtly, leaving patterns of behavior to imitate.
cite some examples of practical errors, conflicts or problems are solved mainly through violence, the sense of life has no purpose other than the insatiable quest of pleasure with regard to sexuality matters is the enjoyment of the 'here and now 'without any obligation or liability, and appears almost never the institution of marriage, a woman is presented so deformed, as a mere object desirable, following the unacceptable logic of consumer society: "Use and throw away."
Have you noticed how some girls talk just as their favorites in the soaps? Or how kids and tweens react similarly to their idols, singers or actors they admire? What advice
provide about the use of television in the family?
First, they are the parents themselves take the lead and select which programs are suitable for training and entertainment for their children;
them see the children that their primary duty is to comply with homework and study time.
Second, propose interesting plans for their free time: class swimming, football, tennis, guitar, painting, educational trips (museums, art exhibitions, contact with nature ...), they become fond of history, in learning about scientific discoveries, geography, astronomy , musical treasures, and in general, well-selected readings to supplement training.
Also, make accompaniment work in time to see certain programs or movies, so that eventually the children to help regulate a healthy attitude criterion or critical of what they witnessed.
For example, if a film is about a married couple with children who are divorced and is presented as "Most natural" to induce them to reflect on and question:
- How do you think will feel the children after the divorce of their parents?
The answer will come from the hand, as a logical consequence:
"Well too bad, because they behaved in a selfish and thought about their children and the happiness of the family together.
A final consideration is that parents should have a proactive involvement to require television stations that do not project or commercial programs that can be harmful or misleading to children and, in turn, propose or suggest programs fun, entertaining, constructive so that television contributes conducting training to parents from within your home.
