Abstract EN

Television is considered to be amongst the extremely effective means of information, being so easy to acquire that it is hardly to find a house without it.

Therefore, the television would interfere in the teaching and in the transfer of some behaviors and thoughts to children of various ages, especially to the ones who start watching it in an early age and for long hours.

The impact of television upon our children is an exceedingly intrinsic problem; nevertheless, we are not able to identify whether it should be considered as positive or negative for them, except with today's diverse major diseases such as obesity and autism for instance, with which we had better tend to the necessity of lowering the time of tv watching for children, or replacing it by some more constructive situations, such as free play, stories reading, etc.

The aforementioned issue is compelling us, as parents and trainers, to select the programs that our children should watch, and that aught to be adapted to their ages, as well as with our culture.

We have been pushed by means of those convergences, towards a reflection upon the television, with its advantages together with its inconveniences in their entirety.

For this respect, we will attempt, throughout the present article, to substantiate the impact of television upon the developing children.
