What are the dangers of children watching TV?

Television is very common, and many people love to watch it very much. However, when choosing a TV, you should also be careful not to watch it casually. It has a great impact on the body, especially when children watch TV for a long time. It is easy to cause a variety of problems. Therefore, children should reduce watching TV. So what are the dangers of children watching TV? There are many aspects.

Harms of watching TV for children:

1. Permanent damage to brain development

According to the latest brain science research in Australia, when babies watch TV, the left cortex of the brain, which is responsible for vision, analysis, and calculation, will become distracted as their attention shifts with the screen. The right cortex that receives color signals will also lose its ability to inhibit information, reducing the pathways between the left and right cortices and presenting an inertial state of brain structure damage.

If this continues, the baby's brain cells will be permanently damaged. This damage is both structural and chemical. The structural and chemical changes in the injured cells will affect the development of the baby's normal brain function.

2. Suppress your baby's imagination and creativity

Psychological experiments conducted by Spanish pediatricians have also confirmed that because babies are unable to think clearly or engage in constructive imagination, television images leave some unprocessed images in their brains that linger in their brains for a long time. If there is no enlightenment and explanation from adults, young babies will not understand the images they see, and these images will leave some permanent distorted contents in their minds, making them stupid.

Watching too much TV will also suppress your baby's imagination and creativity. Many teachers report that some babies who watch TV frequently cannot understand stories without pictures because TV withers the baby's ability to create images in his or her brain.

In addition, babies' ability to persevere in dealing with things is greatly damaged by watching too much TV. They are used to watching TV for hours and find it difficult to deal with a difficult problem that can be solved in 30 minutes or an hour, so these babies can't stand something more difficult to learn. Whenever they are required to concentrate on completing a task for a long time, they will give up as soon as they encounter a small difficulty.

These are the hazards of children watching TV. Children should choose to watch less TV in normal times. Children can often go out to play, which is very helpful for improving children's physical health in all aspects. And often going outdoors to play has no effect on children's health, so this is a good choice for parents.
