Raising your child without television is not good they will miss out on so much that is going on in their world.

The reason why you should consider raising your kids with tv is because when they get older they really need to know a lot about the world. When TV is not involved what would happen to our children? Yes there are bad things on TV that they should not see, and that's why we have child lock and all that parental codes. We should always let the children watch TV even though we may think that it is a bad influence, but most of the time it is for the best; so that our children will know what is actually going on and what certain stuff actually is. When they don't understand something you teach it to them I am not saying use TV to teach it, because that is not a great way to help and teach your child what to do and what not to do.

There are some advantages to raising your kids with television. You can let them watch the news, so they would know what is going on in the word and not just the world, but their own state. Another advantage is children love cartoons and rather than going out and buying every single video you can just let them sit in front of the tv and enjoy their favorite show. I am not saying let them watch all day long, but at least a few times a day. There are many educational shows on the tv that you can let your children watch to improve their school work and their minds. Raising your kids with out all these advantages would be very interesting and not a good way to go.

Children should have a voice plus a lot of time to learn a lot about the world. TV does not show many shows that us as parents agree to, but once you think about it the world does not show nothing good either. What is next? Keeping the kids locked up in the house, because you are scared of the world or you think that they should not see what is going on out there. Once you take tv then you should take everything else and just live inside forever. TV is just a small thing that everyone is dealing with once you get to the big stuff that is when you have a problem. For example once you get to the gang bang and other life threatening things that is when you worry.
