1. TV shouldn't be the backdrop for your family life. In other words, you can turn on the TV only in order to watch a specific program, and after it ends, turn it off immediately.

2. Mom and Dad should always know what exactly their child is watching. Preview all cartoons, cassettes and get acquainted with the content of TV programs. You must understand that this video production will not harm your child.

3. Never substitute TV for communication with your baby. The child very quickly gets used to such a situation and may refuse to communicate, choosing an easier way.

4. It is much better to show your child recorded cartoons than to leave them in front of the TV. Children are not ready for an adequate perception of the flow of advertising, which is designed for an adult look.

5. Discuss with your child what he is watching on TV, express your attitude to films and cartoons, ask the child's point of view.

6. Choose films and cartoons for your child that teach kindness, responsiveness, honesty and courage.

7. Avoid placing the TV in the nursery so that your little one is less tempted to turn it on at any time.

8. The kitchen is also not a place for a TV. Otherwise, the TV will gradually replace communication in your family. In addition, psychologists have proven the fact that children who are used to eating and watching TV are more likely to be overweight.

9. A baby's life should be eventful so that there is not too much time left to watch TV.

10. If you notice that your child has already become addicted to TV: he demands to turn on the cherished "box", refuses to listen to fairy tales, walk or play, demanding cartoons, take urgent action. Try to teach your child to read, which is an active process, as opposed to watching TV. Go in for sports, go for walks more often, attract the child to your assistants, doing homework, and then the child will not have the desire to "leave" reality into the invented television world.

If adults were more interested in the content and quality of TV programs that they offer (or do not prohibit) their children to watch, they would know that:

· In modern cartoons, all actions occur too quickly, at such a speed that children's perception is not yet capable of;

· The colors used by animators in modern cartoons are too bright, and the color combinations are too contrasting. This causes overexcitation of the child;

· From the point of view of morality, not all modern cartoons contain positive examples and have an instructive meaning, as it should be in fairy tales;

· A small child cannot always separate good from evil in modern cartoons, so often the positive hero suddenly turns out to be a villain, and the negative hero causes a feeling of pity in young viewers. Such a shift in the value system can cause neuroses in children and have the wrong influence on the formation of the value system;

· Aggression, which is filled with modern cartoons and films, is absorbed, willingly or unwillingly, by a kid watching a seemingly “children's” program. Then the child will definitely begin to reproduce the model of behavior that he saw on the screen;

· Watching TV programs can cause mental fatigue in the baby. The stream of sounds and visual images that enter the children's head from the TV screen is practically not controlled by adults, as well as the viewing time. The child sits motionless for too long, which is why tension builds up in his body;

· While watching, the child has a lot of questions, but he cannot get answers to them, because adults are rarely around;

· Very quickly, the baby develops a persistent "tele-dependence", because of which he begins to be capricious, demanding to turn on the source of impressions. Even adults who seem to be able to control themselves can spend a lot of time in front of blue screens, ignoring important and urgent matters. And there is no need to talk about children.

Japanese pediatricians have conducted a study and proved that prolonged television viewing significantly reduces communication skills in children. The more time the kid spends in front of the TV, the higher his level of aggression. The child identifies with the cartoon character.
