now a days cartoons shown on Jetix channel about the fantasy life,fighting moves like that are making the children impractical.
not only children are becoming physically sluggish but also they are living a fantasy life.
yes Rajani, The cartoons should be used to inspire and entertain.
Sajeetharan, it is a matter of exercising discipline and control. It is upto the parents to ensure that the children spent a reasonable amount of time watching TV and also on what they watch!
Cartoons would have never been there if it was that bad, After all cartoons are for kids, who ll watch them if not the kids.But yes excess of anything is bad so overdoses of TV is bad too , especially for eyes and it might also induce lethargy in the kid.The best activity for kids is ofcourse interaction and spending time with nature.
Sajeetharan, some people would disagree with you on this. Not all cartoons are harmless fun, but certain cartoons Shin Chan projected a lot of mindless violence and was found to be influencing children a lot> This cartoon was banned in USA after many parents raised their voices against it!
And yes of course, nothing beats healthy bouts of physical activities and playing outdoors! But as playgrounds are alarmingly vanishing and crimes against children increasing, obviously parents are scare to send their children out to play, the sole reason why cartoons have become popular than anything.
