Statement of the problem
Media exposes violence through which children
tend to become less sensitive to the pain and
suffering of others and become more fearful of the
world around them. Parents and adults who deal with children
overlook such factors and allow them to watch
television without supervision.
The young mind of a child starts developing its
own perception of reality and starts adopting it in
his practical life also.

What did I found ?
Frequent viewing of television violence leadsto the belief that such violence is an accurateportrayal of real life, resulting in anexaggerated fear of violence from others. Fear
stemming from watching scary media may beimmediate and short-term but can also beenduring.
Aggressive behavior and attitudes are learnedat young ages and can result in lifelongviolence unless there are interventions.

Conclusion
Parents should watch television and other media with theirchildren and evaluate the shows together.
Adults need to talk with children about what they observethrough the media, to find out how children are interpreting
what they see and to help clarify misinterpretations.
Parents can designate an approved list of media options fortheir children and give children choices from amongapproved shows.
Parents can assist children in finding alternatives to viewingadult television. In addition, parents can use videotapes ofhigh quality children's programming and public televisionwhen commercial alternatives are not available.
