Should a child's viewing habit be monitored?


According to the Center for Media and Public Affairs, the average TV watcher sees
14,000 references to sex

and the average child watches
8,000 murders and 100,000 acts of violence by the end of elementary school.

Studies show that some Children learn behaviour through watching television and are desensitised to aggression and death.

At least one young children's teacher in Brazil conducted experiments involving children's reaction to some episodes of the Teletubbies, and found they experienced problems with the gender roles of the characters and their own identification with them.
