Positive Effects of Television on Young Children

So what are the positive effects of television on children?
According the Disney study in Australia, the cartoons that Disney produce feed and inspire the imagination of children as well as promoting positive social messages by showing children the importance of honesty, trust, loyalty, fairness and friendship. The conclusions of the Kansas State University, the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and the University of Aberdeen are that through the television set children are taught to deal with and control the adrenalin that is sent through their body when dealing with violence. While Dr Huston at the University of Texas along with other similar studies show that educational programmes on the television are in fact educational and a good source for children to obtain information about the world. Educational television programmes not only teach children lessons of formal educational value, but also help them deal with life. Television has also taught our children to be critical thinkers. TV teaches children that there is a bigger world than their street thus becoming culturally aware from a young age, which can only be a good thing.
