“Television is the menace that everyone loves to hate but can’t seem to live without.” —Paddy Chayevsky.

I always feel TV is responsible for the arrogant behavior of kids. Nowadays kids are just addicted to TV and other gadgets. This makes them less exposed to outdoor activities.

The TV addict just not makes them mentally weak but physically also it does.

Such TV addict kids develop obesity, fatigue, and restlessness. Have less energy.

Physical and mental effects on kids are as follows:-

• Develop obesity and fatigue
• Possess less energy
• It may result in risky behavior in later stages of life
• They develop the nature of copying whatever they see. (For example, if your son watches the wrestling matches regularly, he will try to implement that on his younger siblings)
