How much time do you spend
watching TV or playing on the computer?
Well a study reckons that too
many kids are having too much screen time.
The report found that by the time
a child is seven they could have spent around a year of their life looking at
TV and computer screens.
Some experts think that if you're
between 7 and 12-years-old you should limit yourself to an hour a day to help
your brain develop better.
For your homework write a balanced
argument on your class blog, answering the question:
Should children have their TV and computer time limited?

ReplyDeleteBalanced argument for and against:
ReplyDeleteOn one hand, they should have it limited because if you spend too much time on watching screens your eye sight will be bad also you will be lazy un active your body will not stay healthy. However, on the other hand, on screens you can find educations programs wick can completely change your life and help you with school maths or Literacy\English.
When you are 7 & 12 year old you should concentrate more on maths and Literacy\English>
Me my self:
I don’t watch T.V that much I play some games on the computer for 20 minutes. I mostly read out loud to my self in my room for my reading of the day!

ReplyDeleteYou could watch TV for a limited time not for ages and ages.A recommended time is a maximum of forty minuets. If longer it should be banned for a day because you don't learn anything. Furthermore, you should do your homework instead of wasting your life watching TV.
TV dose not care about you or what happens to you.
ReplyDeleteIt's downright bad for your healthmnow,and that's
not a far out concept.I think watching the TV news
is bad for you.It is bad for your phisical
health and your mental health.
Also:TV is bad for you because if you watch too much you can
loose your eye sight and be very lazy.
And sometimes you can feel very weird.
So do not watch to many movies in one day then you wilol loose your eye sight.

Should children have their TV and computer time limited?
ReplyDeleteSome people might say that children should have their TV time limited because it wastes time for learning.
In addition, instead of watching TV and using computers and tablets we could spend some quality time with family on playing board games, talking or going for a walk.
Lastly, watching television for long time makes your eyes strain and it can cause headache.
So I think that time spent in front of the TV should be limited to an hour a day, for all children between 3 and 12 years old.
Others might argue, that you should watch news channels to learn new things and to know what is going on around the World.
To support this, you may explore places, animals and other things.
Finally, it’s nice to have relaxing time watching TV with family.
Watching TV, using computers and tablets is not a bad thing as long as you know your limit and you don't go over it.
I agree with that Karol well done.
Deletetv and computer are bad beacause the more they watch the more they
ReplyDeletedo not know there homwork plus it will hurt your eyes and it will
not feel good so you should stop watching tv and go on your computer and do you homework your brain will memorise what facts you could write or type if its blogging your teacher will be proud . e.g pretend its friday 12 may 2017 miss mossy checks every ones homework and wow your homework is lovely with fact like did you know that pluto isnt any more she did not know that so thats why i think tv and computer are bad.

I think tv is good for us because there might be a educational programme on it.
ReplyDeleteAlso,the majority of people, like tv because it is entertaining and funny programmes are put on.
In addition,some people may argue that, you should stay on the TV as much as you like.
On the other hand, TV can give you hedaches and eye damages such as blindness or maybe you have to wear glasses. Therefore you should have limited times on TV like 1hour or 2 hours.
TV is also not good for you because you loose concentration.
I recommend that we should watch TV for limited time only.
childrens time spent starting at the TV , computer or tablets should be limited to 90 minutes a day. Children who spend more then 4 hours par day watching TV or playing computer are more likly to be overweight. More screen means more consumption and more medical problem. The is a direct situations between watching TV and having to wear glasses. Even though watching TV is bad for you some channels are very educational. Patrick D.
ReplyDeleteShould children have their tv and computer time limited ?
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is: yes, children should have their time limited on computer games and watching tv. I think one hour ia day watching a favourite programme is enough. The majority of people watching tv more than one hour and that causing blindness and health problems as they are not active and not doing any fun activities. I wish all my friends spend less time on their gadgets,and instead play more time at the park or spending quality time with their family.
Should children have their TV and computer time limited?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, no, they shouldn't because if there favourite programme was on they will miss it. Also,
if it was a educational programme they will miss it. WHICH WILL BE BAD FOR YOUR EDUCATION!!!!!!!
On the other hand, you should get at least two hours a day. Also if you get of the TV/computer you can get your H/W done quicker, which also means you can get back to be
watching he TV/computer. BUT IT ALSO CAN WASTE THE ELECTRICITY. THE TV IS NOT FREE YOU KNOW!!! also it is wasting the time that you spend with your family/the fresh air outside.
Should children have limited television time?
ReplyDeleteOn one hand children should have limited time to watch television because it can damage your eyes and maybe cause headache.
Furthermore, your life wouldn’t be social because you are staying inside, there is no exercise, you are not talking to people and your life wouldn’t be social.
Lastly, you are not doing any exercise and this leads to laziness and obesity.
On the other hand, you might learn something new if you watch news and all education will be needed one day.
In addition, you would not be able to play most games. Without computer, life would be boring.
Finally, you could spend family time while you’re watching a movie on the TV.
Watching television often gets a bad rap. Studies have said that watching too much TV leads to obesity and greediness — and I’m sure you’ve heard your grandmother say it rots your brain more than once. But while all of that might be true, other studies have also (conveniently enough) found that watching television is actually good for us. That's right, good for us.
ReplyDeleteYou might feel like you're out of control if you're binging on Netflix, but a 2012 study out of the University of Buffalo found that people who watch TV, especially shows that are familiar to them, are able to stay on top of their self-control better than those who don’t watch lots of TV.Turns out watching Scandal together isn't a sign of the fire is dying — when couples watch TV together, it actually brings more intimacy into their relationship.What do you do when you get home from work? Probably toss yourself on the couch and turn on the TV, right? Well, the same 2011 study by the University of Rochester also found that in addition to increasing feelings of generosity and energy, watching TV also contributes to lower blood pressure and stress relief. (Which is probably why it's so fun.) KSENIA
Should children have their TV and computer time limited?
ReplyDeleteWell a study reckons that too many kids are having too much screen time. The report found that by the time a child is seven they could have spent around a year of their life looking at the TV and computer screens!
Children should have their TV and computer time limited. If children watch too much TV they can become blind. Children should only watch 1 hour of TV a - day.
If you watch too much TV you will miss your physical activity. A lack of physical activity can cause health problems.
Spending too much time on the TV gives you less time to study. You won’t be able to learn the basic skills of life.
If you watch TV you can learn something new. You can learn about the world by watching programmes like The Blue Planet (Earth).
You can know what is going on around the world by watching the news bulletin. This keeps to up to date with what is currently happening around you.
TV entertains you when you are feeling bored. There are lots of kids’ programmes which are fun to watch.
I feel you should watch TV but for a limited time.TV can entertain you but you shouldn’t watch it too much TV.

Should children have T.V time?
ReplyDeleteChildren have limited time of T.V because it can damage your eyes and that it can also make your head ache.
You also don't want to play around any place at all. You would only like to watch videos and you would forget about your homework.
You even forget that the T.V is not for free and that you can maybe burst the T.V!
there is no point of you watching T.V if it only do things that are important. Some times you can only watch one movie on Sunday and Saturday only!
You are also wasting your time while you can play outside.
FROM BIYON
Should children have their TV and computer time limited?
ReplyDeleteFor:
Children should have their time on electronics limited because if they play too much they will get squared eyes.
In Addition, children should have a time limited because you can get a headache and feel fell sick after playing or watching TV for too long.
Finally, children need a time restriction because it doesn't help their brains to develop properly if they spend unlimited time on playing or watching TV.
Against:
Children don't need a time limit because some children interested in stuff on their iPad or other electronics.
In Addition, children don't need a time limit because they might be bossy.
Finally, children don't need a time limit because they might do homework and for that they need to spend time on their iPads or computers.
From,
Kian J
Children should go on the computer or watch TV because they spend 6 hours at school and most of it is doing homework and as a reward they should be able to play on the computer or watch TV. They should also watch TV because their is some good programmes like newsround,blue Peter etc... which tells you what is going on in the world.
ReplyDeleteSometimes If you watch too much television it can cause you to worry about the world affairs. You shouldn't watch TV or play the computer too much because it can damage your eyes and it might cause you to have glasses. Children should also have a limited time because these days people are playing on the computer 3 or 4 hours straight and not going out to play outside and exercising.
AVISH
ReplyDeleteFor:
I don’t think you should limit your tv time because if you watch intelligent programs you will miss it then you miss out on your brainy time!!!
Against:
In addition, you should limit yourself if you watch non-intelligent tv programs like SpongBob square pants. That’s not intelligent the news is very intelligent.
For:
ReplyDeleteI think you should have limited time to watch on the tv.But some people watch for more than 30 minutes or 1 hour if you watch for longer you might get blind if you watch too much.
Against:
On one hand, you could play outside instead of being indoors watching because playing is active also you should be active because your body will be healthy as much as you sweat.
Today we will be thinking about if children should have a limited time of tv or as much time as they want?
ReplyDeleteOn one side of the argument, children should have a limited of time because they might get bad eye sight afera while. To add to this, chidren will have to wear glasses for many years.
In addition, The more you sit the more health problems you will have in future and if you want a healthy life style it needs a lot of activities and outdoor.
Lastly, the more you sit in front of the tv the less time you have to play inside or outside. Plus you miss out on partys and everything with your friends.
On the otherhand children should not have a limited time of tv because tn is sometimes very usefull, homework, projects or information for school. Plus also its very interesting.
In addition, children should not have a limited time, because if you do have limited time you could have missed some really important news and educational programs.
Finally, children should have unlimited acces to the computer because there are also someeducational games that help you to learn. To support this, you can find a loads of things onhe TV and computer.
In conclusion, I think that children shouldn't have limited time of TV because TV or computer are useful for information, homework and school, and sometimes to have fun.
