Today is the 21st century, and life is evolving very fast. People have a lot of new talented devices that are very interesting for kids. But everything has positive and negative consequences, for example, TV.
Today we have TVs of different sizes and with many intelligent features. This is Smart TV. The children are troubled by this. Children will learn more beautiful colors. They listen to the conversation and the music that develops their hearing. Learn too many games. In short, smart TV is both good and bad.
For example, I will tell you the example of my daughter Mariam. Mariam is very fond of watching TV. She likes kids’ songs, dances, games. When Mary watches TV I have more time it's good but. She fell in love with watching TV so much that Mary is 2.5 years old and just talking. Mary was no longer playing with me. She liked TV more, which caused her to become more addicted to TV. Mary walks from kindergarten now, and that's very good.
Today almost every parent works. Parents do not have enough time to work together and take control of their children's lives step by step. My husband and I try to be as involved as possible in raising both of us. It's very challenging though enjoyable.
I can no longer watch TV; I listen :)
