16、entertain, educate, affect and frighten the majority of children. Most children are allowed to watch whatever programme is on, with little thought to the effect that particular show will have on a child. Most programmes can be classed as beneficial or harmful, according to what effect the program mi
17、ght have on a child. The beneficial television programmes are mainly those that educate the young. There are often special programmes about animals. A few regular childrens programmes develop the childs interest in learning by stressing numbers and the alphabet. They also encourage him or her to be
18、creative. The beneficial commercials, such as those on anti-smoking, anti-litter, and health, should be included in this category. On the opposite side are the shows which are generally harmful to children. Many com-merials, especially those sponsoring childrens programmes, are deliberately written
19、to create a desire for an unnecessary product such as sugar coated cereals and candy. All adult programmes that include violence or sex scenes can at best fill a childs mind with confusing or misleading ideas, and could possibly harden the child to violence. Thoughtful parents do not allow their children to view bad programmes. A childs viewing time should be limited to watching educationally beneficial programmes.
