Television has influenced society in many ways since its invention in the early
1900s , and now new studies are showing that educational television shows have a
positive effect on children’s development . There are several reasons why
this is true .
First , watching a few hours of educational programming a week has been
proven to boost children’s test scores . Researchers found that in a group of 200
preschool – age children , those who watched educational programs had higher
reading , vocabulary and math scores than those who did not . Another study
showed that educational programs assist in language acquisition by helping
infants and toddlers develop speech more quickly .
Furthermore , watching educational television programs together can be
an important bonding activity for families . Current studies continue to
demonstrate the importance of family bonding time in creating emotionally healthy
and well – adjusted children . Family bonding is linked to higher rates of academic
success . In addition , research shows that it also promotes increased physical
health , as well as a healthy ability to relate to others .
Finally , there are a wide variety of excellent educational programs available ,
and the quality of these programs is closely monitored . Governments in several
countries have passed laws and regulations to ensure that educational programming
meets certain standards of excellence . The regulations set by these laws are
enforced , and program producers must adhere to them . Therefore , it’s guaranteed
that children are exposed to only the highest quality of television programming .
