Greetings from the family of Edu-Paedia. We are all in the
technology era. Our children are technocrats. They love computers, are addicted
to television. Our imaginative children creates stories, builds drama and
allows fire eating dragons, bull headed ogres, talking fish and flying turtles
to be their friends. They want action all the time. They want OVER STIMULATION
and are bored by reality. They love the world of cartoons and films. They are
VISUAL LEARNERS. Television can be an inquiry tool. Our kids can explore places
and animals or things they will not come across naturally. They can learn new
things or activities. Yet for all its advantages, TV encourages our kids to be
couch potatoes. Their social skills are hampered. They forget to read; their
language development is impeded. They are exposed to a lot of violence and
negativity. They tend to become less energetic and lose their creativity. Let
us ration the TV time. Let us watch TV with them. Television time can be
bonding time. Story telling or reading together can replace TV time. Walk and
play with your child. Let our kids enjoy reality rather than make believe. “Say
no to TV”. We are organizing a session on „The joys and challenges of
parenting‟ by Dr. Gururaj Karajagi, Chairman, Edu-Paedia at R.V. Institute of
Management on the 19th November, 2016. Register and be a courageous and
empowering parent …..
Warm regards,
Television – the entertainer and the spoiler
