TV cartoon series: Combination of good and bad effect
Tom and Jerry, Doraemon, Shin Chan, Motu Patlu, Dora the explorer, Peppa Pig—how many shall I mention? These are all frequently seen cartoons. You may ask, how I know these names? Because I see these cartoons regularly! In fact, bound to see this sitting with my child. The number of cartoons I watched in my childhood, more than that I have seen at this age with my kids!
I still can remember, in my childhood, my favorite cartoon was Thundercats. I had a dream to have that kind of sword of mine at that age. At that age we had one of the requirements to watch cartoons but not the only option. We had many things to do. Running, jumping, playing in open fields, fighting with friends, flying kites and many more.
But what about our kids?
Here I am considering the urban children only. They are used to apartment living culture. Their world is to go to school and come back home, watch TV cartoon, complete homework, eat, sleep and from next day same routine repeats. Then where is the way to grow as free and fearless human being? We need to think seriously.
As parents, we often make the environment for our kids to watch only cartoon during their leisure time rather playing or making fun with them. Kids are happy, and we are also happy with our gadgets in our hand and roaming through facebook, twitter, whatsapp etc. I am not blaming rather this is the fact for maximum people including myself. We have less time to give our kids!!
So, are watching cartoons harmful for kids?
As mentioned in the headline, this goes both ways. The issue is how we will handle this. There are many cartoon series which are very good and helpful for knowledge gathering for kids like- Dora the explorer, Sisimpur, Mina etc.
On the other hand, some cartoons create bad impact on children mind like Doraemon. Here, the cartoon shows how to escape from education and tell lies. These type of cartoons are the obstacles to explore the mental development of children.
Apart from cartoon theme or good/bad effects, watching TV continuously for long period hampers the vision of eyes and mental growth. Sometimes children grow as one sided. The can only receive but not able to deliver. Autism is one of the reasons by watching TV continuously.
As we are unable to make our urban flat culture like village, the only thing we can do to give our child enough time to ensure their future as a normal child. Allow them to watch TV or mobile as little as possible. Educational cartoons or animated films they can watch but not for whole day.
Today’s child is the next generation leader. So, we have to ensure their future and our next generation leader who will guide the society.
Thanks for your attention.
What will our children do without these ? Are we capable to go park or playground every day? We are so much busy in our sector. There is no time to spend for them. Even park and playground are not available in urban area especially in capital city. We are responsible for this issue... We are running for money and child career (high weight school bag). But we do not take care about their mental growth.
You are right. There are limited playgrounds for our children. Yet we can try with our limited facility.

A very important subject you raised... I am getting really worried about how can we avoid this zombie...
Yes really a concern.
It's the issue worries me much these days... What time limits to watch tv and what shows should they watch... If I bound time and limitations I can't make it guaranteed that they follow my instructions ... As they growing .... So once I just put off the TV completely it was not allowed at all. Because they whole day spending watching tv. Really pathetic.
Well point noted. It's really easy letting them to watch tv and hanging on with own gadgets.
I don't find any other way working then put it off completely. Even my little one now used to it seeing the elders .
Really this is a concern now. We have to think different way to solve it. Thanks for your comments.

The kids can learn a lot by watching the cartoon. But at the age of 30, when they saw a cartoon at the same time, it was really frustrating.
What should they do?The environment of living has bound them to watch this and enjoy their childhood. There is no filed to play,no environment to enjoy the nature. So they are spending their time with this.
Yes agree. Thanks for your comments.
