Every day in the morning when most of the children wake up, the first thing they do while waiting to get breakfast or even eating breakfast the T.V is on. Even after get home they probably get a snack but then click on the T.V… Should children watch these inadequate shows or should parents forbid this?

There are claims that watching TV as start of a day leads to a distraction during school day. Children go to school and still thinking of the cool show they are watched in the morning. Some TV shows contains inappropriate information and social issues have been arisen regarding this subject.
