Control your TV for the sake of future children
Everyone knows, television is now no longer a luxury item, to simply stall corner or even motorcycle taxi shelters are now equipped with a television. Despite a lot of other entertainment alternatives that can be selected, television is still in the interest of even expect a gift in point shopping in stores. Once sedated the event on television, so we are powerless to stop the eye not to glance at the TV show. Although the choice of event is not very useful even common sense we recognize the futility we have done, at best end up grumbling that the event had unwittingly spend our precious time.
Eh .... already watched, just so aja kok! Even the curse mark sometimes appears annoyed, "well .... basic soap opera!, why the A so anyway? That's .. bla .. bla .. Suddenly the audience become commentators, observers, and detractors detractor. Not to mention the emotions that stir because of a TV show that managed to provoke us. His name is also the media, sometimes TV indulgence in anger, fear, sadness and emotion that is not consistent, but unfortunately not necessarily true honed sense of empathy that is built to enhance our social intelligence. Instead of becoming more wise, that happens it makes us a commentator, critic, or just being a spectator true for all the hustle and bustle of the world stage, which in essence is part of our society as well.
Let us measure ourselves. First prepare your stationery and paper, and try to be honest in answering the following questions:
1. Is there a TV in your home?
2. If there is, how many are there?
3. How long (hours) The TV is on? If there are more than two, whether the TV is on at the same time?
4. Is the TV is on at certain times or always lit even if not on the watch?
5. Do our children watch TV alone?
6. How many hours children watch TV?
7. Are we watching as adults, our children who are minors also watch?
8. Do you feel the positive benefits of TV?
9. Do you know the negatives of the TV show?
10. Did you set the TV broadcast schedule, or TV show set schedule your event?
11. Are you someone who regularly watch a certain show?
To temporarily reserve your answers, we will think together later.
For me TV as a window that divides the world of wilderness, how terrible if we do not know where we are and going where we go. We and our children may go astray and make whatever it sees as a model of behavior and direction in her life now and later.
There are many scenes of violence, sex, mysticism, and even the sexy ads that interrupt the event pure children. Is there a television really safe? Yes, that's the wilderness that I mean, we never know when when confronted with danger, even though we are constantly vigilant. The danger is not just for kids, but also our own.
Children are most vulnerable to the negative impact of television shows. There was a time where television was invaded our homes, so too in our house, sometimes parents scramble event with a child, but I feel it's time we exercise self-control. Is not television just ordinary electronic equipment? Why when we could be controlled by routine soap operas, movies and even news?
Gratitude Thank God, I do not really like watching. Even if the desire for menontonpun come, it must be considered with the other possibility if the spectacle it provides a real benefit compared to the productive time or maybe the time that I istrirahat Relax, and I also have to be consistent to give the exact model when educating their own children in using television as it should be.
Until the end, practically speaking, we only turn on when the television news time, when nonto movie you've specified, during leisure time (extremely rare), or when no choice of activities (which almost never in the select).
We need to know, that the data in the record IBC 2002 (sorry I did not have the latest data), the amount of time children watch television has exceeded 30-35 hours / week, this equates to 1560-1820 hours / year. Of course this figure is very large compared to the time a child in school. Yet when it was only 15% only show worth watching televiisi a child. How is today? How many hours you and your child watch television?
IBC said that television watching is only worth a maximum at 2 hours a day. When I discussed this with my son who was still in kindergarten, he easily understand the reasons. He made his own alarm and determine where the event was decided to watch, if over the quota, with all the struggle we strive consistently to turn it off.
TVs actually have many benefits, when the media is used correctly. There was a time when families get together and relax in front of TV watching, it can glue the ties of kinship while off fatigue when tired of working all day. Film documentation of the family also feels very romantic when the watch back and make us grateful to be a family that is always happy. Documentary film about children activities, movie science, etc.. is part of the media to build self-esteem and learning resources for children.
The problem is there is all within our control, or TV who controls us?. Please open your answer sheet over my previous question. You may ponder and decide which is best for you and your family.
If you have more than two TVs at home, especially when the TV is typically placed in a child's room, you will reap a new problem with the lack of opportunity to accompany the children to sort and select a good show and worth the look. The event was clearly intended, the show is childish adult or child event that think like adults. Time slot that is not consistent (although there are media that give impressions category), what event dedicated to the who, and especially when there is access to the TV out of different time slot. Not to mention the actual event just copy and paste from another channel or recycled, instead of the title, subtitles, etc.. There is absolutely not a product of creativity and even many who are not qualified.
Unfortunately many parents are still happy (conscious and unconscious) entrust the care her son on television, they do not realize the effect of TV on the development of their children's mentality. When should a child grow and develop properly, when should the gold (golden age) children to grow flowers in content with the best possible moment, just the ability to speak, the language both verbal and understanding in the resistor. Not to mention the message and the aggressiveness of the difficulties the child to focus (concentration) further strengthened by sitting in front of the TV. Yet the growth of critical power in children makes the child become 'slaves' of the most easily controlled by the TV. They are easy on the push for the consumer, it is difficult to distinguish fantasy and reality, forming a passive person, simplifying the mindset and the inhibition of creativity and cognitive development.
What about adults who are also not critical?
Hopefully we do not belong to the 'slave' television because it is not critical thinking, have no control to select and sort, passive, not creative and genuine audience. How can we expect in the next generation when we become parents like that?
That's just the impact of her show, how the productive time is wasted? Electrical energy in the scattered waste of time when the country difficult to decide whether to subsidize or not to the people. What about the greenhouse effect? Did someone just yell when the weather was not consistent, while the CO 2 cycle is not balanced. Is global warming campaign is only valid for the environmental activist? Let us not forget our immediate environment.
I tried to do for themselves and their own families. I always was thankful for the awareness of children to set their own TV and now the Internet media, including how long, what is in the watch / on access, what to avoid, etc. as a personal responsibility which is actually further have an impact to the community as well as our planet earth.
