Are Cartoons really for kids?

The earliest cartoon series were based upon popular comic strips, and were directed at family audiences. Most animation produced during the silent film era was not intended to be shown to any specific age group, but occasionally contained humor that was directed at adult audience members. As times passed adult intended humor was more common, it became popular through the 2000s. The time children spend in front of the television today has increased for various reasons. Electronics has become a part of our lives. When a child is born, it is like an empty notebook. It’s what we write there that creates their future. So, it’s up to us, their parents to be their teachers and the environment in which they are living, to teach them to become better persons. It’s of great importance, for the children between the age of 3 – 6 years which are too small, to expose them to the loving and caring environment. A safe environment that provides enough opportunities to them for their emotional and social development which would help them becomes stable persons in the future. In the present world, digital media are unavoidable by every age group of children.

The environment that surrounds them must be happy, safe and loved as it becomes very important for our children’s education. A global survey shows that 85% of children’s brain structures are already complete in the early years. So these are the years where we need to take special care of what we show our children, how we behave in front of them, giving them enough opportunity for manual experiences.

The cartoons were so short at first, but now they are very long and the kids can sit and watch them for hours. Children watch cartoons not only on television but also on the Internet and they can usually contain inappropriate content. These websites are easy to get into if the kid wants to see them.
