Not all aspects on TV are negative. There are some positive effects on TV, too. If children view good TV educational programs then they can learn many news things easily. TV is considered to be a medium for education. They learn about places they have never traveled to and animals they have never seen before and they can learn about new scientific discoveries.
Choosing the right TV programs for a child is very important. This is one way that he/she can learn useful things. The right shows would usually help him/her develop his/her imagination. Good TV shows also teach family values.
Another good thing is TV on DVD. They allow families to watch shows that are appropriate for children and they save time by recording shows and skipping commercials when they watch them later without having to view commercials.
There are some positive effects with commercials, too. Some TV commercials tell an important message that is "Stay fit. 'Cause you never know." On these commercials, children are usually seen chasing an ice cream truck or running after a card game blown in the wind. These situations make them use energy.
People who create these commercials say they want their children to exercise. It helps children stay in shape. In Canada, it was found that children don't do enough exercise and just 10% of 15,800 schools have good daily P.E. programs.
