Television: truly a gift of modern science to children. How many of you parents out there agree to this? Because of the numerous channels and programs in TV, many children stick to it almost all their time at home which often leads to the consideration among parents that whether they should forbid their children from watching it or not. Parents often tend to hear advice from others about the dreadful effects that watching television can have on their kids. Very rarely you might have heard about the benefits of allowing your kids to watch television. But, it is true and it is a fact that the many advantages that TV has to offer for kids cannot be overlooked. In this article, we can take a look at some of those advantages that Television can offer for kids:
To Learn
Have you ever watched Sesame Street or Blues Clues? Those are the best learning shows that truly have a great deal of educational value. And, why do we say that? Those shows help kids to be extremely susceptible to learning as they can easily relate to the characters. And also we cannot ignore shows like, "Dora the Explorer" which goes a step further in teaching kids each word in two different languages.
To Imagine
Kids often have very good imaginations and watching television contributes a major part to that. It is always recommended to allow your kids to watch those shows that you approve of, enabling them to stretch or extend their imaginations.

To Gain Awareness
Some parents never allow their children to watch news. Yes, I do agree that there are a lot of bad and unwanted things that happens in this world and that is undisputed. However, children at a certain age should be allowed to watch news programs so that they are more aware of the world and the things that are happening around them.
To Take a Break
This may feel stupid. But it's a fact. Everyone needs a break. Even parents do. Let your kid to watch a program or two so that it may allow you to take a breather.
Even though Television does provide some benefits, it is advisable that you keep a close eye on what your kids are watching. Parents should decide on what their kids watch as there are many programs that may not be suitable for them to see. Check for reviews on each program before you choose a list for your kid to watch. You can always Google that!
