Childhood

February 12, 2011 by slin

In today’s society, child thinks about sexuality in much different way. For example, they will keep asking their parent or teacher about their body system and where is the body come from and we need to explain the answer in a right way to our children, and make sure they understand it. That is why the child in today’s society is very open mind, because they have knowledge about everything, they don’t have any wrong idea and mind. Therefore, I think it is very important to explain everything to the child, and also make sure they understand.

I think every family in today’s society has computer or TV. Children like stay home to watch TV and play computer, and I think the media has affect the children a lot, because children can find whatever they want from the computer, or watch every channel they want from the TV. If they watch too much TV, it will affect their eyes and body. I think everyone want their child to be happy, and have fun, that is why the parent let their child watch TV, and play computer game, but they never think about how to protect them from the media. Child will learn many things from the media; include bad and good things.

Games is a very important impact during the childhood, child will learn how to play game from their parent or friends, but the way they play is important. Like what I mentioned before, child can learn everything from the media. For example, if they watch too much movie about gun or fighting, they will play gun with their friend, and also want to fight with other people, because they want to try to be the person that in the movie, and also from what they learned. However, there are too many games for today’s child, but they never feel enough, they still want more and more, because they know games are their life, they want to have fun. Therefore, I think we need to control and cannot give whatever they want to them.
