There is no doubt that television has a great influence on children from a very early age itself and it will affect children’s cognitive and social development. The role that television plays in socializing children is very great. Television can be educational and beneficial, but their negative aspect, such as the amount of aggressive and violent activity it displays daily, is causing grave concern to parents and educators around the world. Children do not generally become consistent viewers until they are about 2½ to 3 years old. Even then they do not watch the set constantly because their span of attention is very short. So they get easily distracted. Now a day the working parents are so busy, they don’t have enough time to spend with their kids. The mother has to do the cooking and look after the child simultaneously; there may not be servants also. So she switches on the TV and puts the child in front of it. Slowly it becomes a habit. After some time the kid becomes addicted to the television. And the mother blames the child for regularly watching it.
