Children and Watching TV Television viewing influences children a lot. American children often spend from three to four hours a day watching TV. Some of them spend more time watching television than studying in the classroom. While television can entertain and inform our children of news and real knowledge, it may also influence them in bad ways. Time spent watching television takes away from their important activities such as reading books, playing outdoor sports, doing homework, having family gatherings and developing social skills.Children can also learn incorrect or inappropriate information from television. If children watch TV a lot, they may have lower grades at school, read fewer books and do less exercise or even be overweight. 1.
