Television is an integral feature of our lives. Discussion of TV and movies is always present in our communication with friends, and our детишки love cartoons and fairy tales. But is such a frequent reliance on television such a harmless thing?

In principle, the TV is not worth much to look at and adults: a frequent television viewing - a heavy stress to the nervous system. It is not even in their content - although it is known that the daily viewing of news can lead to depression. Bad for us and the flickering TV screen, and the radiation coming from the "box". Of course, if you regularly watch movies and TV series, there may be an inadequate response to nerve stimuli, unmotivated attacks of aggression and other problems, even in completely healthy in the mental sense, man. When a mother holding a baby in her arms and giving him milk, one eye watching favorite TV series, the consequences for the psyche of a small man can be different - from the simple habit of humming to the background of constant weeping.
Subsequently, if the kid and would spend most of their time to carry out, "Look", along with Mom TV, may come a decline in cognitive activity. Indeed, why should explore the world, drag handles to objects, try to taste, when the screen is constantly changing picture, and you can see something that no kid in the surrounding space?
When a little kid podrastet, it will be difficult to find a self-employed - because he already used to the "background", used to get information about the world of the mother's favorite television series and Papin. And of course, the child will not learn to read.
This terrible beast - advertising
Many child psychologists agree on one thing: up to six years old kid is better than watching TV, regardless of how strict the selection of TV shows are and how limited the time they view it.
The first reason to "separate" the kid from the TV is advertising. Flash frames, followed by a voice like an extremely damaging to children's psyches. In addition, in many spots broken the causal connection that is a factor destructive orientation skills kid in the world.
In addition - and this one, many teachers, educators and psychologists - regular viewing advertising translates into consumer minds kid, primitive plane: you buy it. The kid did not understand why детишки on the screen each day may have a chocolate, collecting colorful stickers, drink the most expensive yogurt. Every screen is shown, it means, and must, therefore, it can also consume it every day. A psychology of the typical "dityati" consumer society.
Льется scarlet blood ...
The second reason why children should not sit trousers with TV - the abundance of violence on TV and a special, animated world in which baby is immersed. In this world its laws, in most cases have no relationship to reality, their characters do not have in reality no prototypes. For example, many characters of American multserialov are literally on the "nine lives": they jump from skyscrapers, fall under the car, sustains them a giant meat grinder, spread on the asphalt, after which they arise, otryahivayutsya and run more. Getting information from these cartoons, the child will never learn about the value of life - he will remain unconscious feeling that "life can be reviews, at any time there is an opportunity to start all over again, and killed in war is always arises, otryahivaetsya and goes home . Is it any wonder in this case, to rampant crime on our streets?
Children's transfer
If you have the opinion that good television does not hurt your baby, but rather the other way around - will help to fall asleep, make sure to observe the following rules:
All the TV that you think it possible to show your kid, watch yourself first. Perhaps it will be hard - my father came from work and sat down to look vtiharya cartoon, recorded the day on video. In fact, and should do. After reviewing the first set of the new cartoon, you will get a picture of the characters, on the set of vocabulary, which they know, about the relationship that exists between them, as well as on the level of dubbing. A viewing will understand if you want all this to your child.
There are special children's programs that are at convenient times and are entertaining and educational at the same time. Their you can watch with your child - because he would certainly many questions that he will not fail you ask!
Limit time spent watching television baby, up to forty minutes a day. More can be damaging to the eye and nervous system.
Listen to their feelings: if you do not like leading child transmission may be, is to heed the inner voice? Sympathies and antipathies are not in a vacuum - it means that our subconscious accepted some information, process it, and now strongly "knocks" to our consciousness, to tell her.
Some films, especially from the old Soviet, are kind and lovely - like a fairy tale. In addition, each adult has their favorite cartoons and feature films. Their you can watch together - among other things, it is surprising the family together and creates a sense of continuity.
No adult TV shows and movies - this should be a categorical ban, which had not even discussed in the family!
Generally, the best in this situation would be if adults reduced the time spent watching television. Show the child by example: a TV - not the only way of spending time.
