elevision and Videos
ery young children can learn
violence from watching family, siblings and televised images of violence. In one
experiment children played more violently with their own dolls after watching
televised children play violently with dolls. Pushing, shoving, throwing objects
designed to hurt another are lessons taught by many ‘harmless’
cartoons.
Remember who is watching television. ‘Violent’ cartoons or the "Three Stooges"
are funny to a child who knows that it is wrong 
and mean to hit. They are teaching tools to an infant who thinks that
hitting might be a good way to get what he wants. Television is like a charging
buffalo--good in its own place --dangerous around children less than six!
In summary
Beware of ‘violent’ television. And try to reverse a disturbing trend
of putting a television in a child’s bedroom.
NO VIOLENT
