I think that watching TV can have both positive and negative effects on children. By watching educational TV programmes, such as the Discovery Channel or BBC’s Planet Earth, children can learn more about the world they live in. Watching TV can also help them develop their imagination and creativity, which are essential skills for their future careers. However, if they spend too much time watching TV, they will have less time for their studies, and this could affect their academic results. Also, sitting for too long in front of the screen is harmful to their health.
