Television watching is a favorite activity for kids; however, T.V. alone is estimated to be responsible for motivating at least10 percent of youth violence. Although some stations contain ratings for shows, it is important to keep in mind they are not always age appropriate.

Dangers of exposure to the sex and violence in television:

• Cause aggressive or anti-social behavior. 
• Create a false sense of reality. 
• Encourage irresponsible sexual activity.
• Cause a child to perceive the world as more dangerous and have a darker view about the world.
• Desensitize and cause a lack of empathy for human suffering.
• Distort expectations of conflict resolution, race and male-female relationships.

Protect the children from the negative effects of television. Take the childrens at the park or playground. For them to have fun.
