Excess of anything is bad, and the same goes for cartoons. If you watch them excessively, it can hamper your studies and eyesight, and you may focus less on physical activities.
What you watch is also crucial. If you watch cartoons that have violence and bad behavior or promote foul language, you will learn the wrong things.
Overall, in my opinion, watching cartoons is good for every child as most of them have numerous positive effects on behavior and development.
So, here are some points which may convince you that watching cartoons is good for children:
- Sense of Imagination:
When a child watches a cartoon, they try and imagine their life just like the cartoon they see. For example, they start imagining about castles, kingdoms, magic, flying, etc. These things show that there is a development in the child as they have begun to imagine things.
- Early Learning:
Cartoons help us learn a lot of things, especially in the case of educational cartoons, such as numbers, alphabet, counting, colors, etc. They help your children learn all the concepts in a fun way; they would want to study more without getting bored. The colorful visions, moving pictures, animation, and talking pictures make it an interactive way to learn new things.
- Sense of Achievement:
There are various cartoon characters that are very hardworking; for example, they are shown as studying, acing in extra-curricular activities like sports, and taking part in innovations and research. This motivates your children to get good marks, accomplish something, or try something new.
I think this is something you might not be able to teach your children; watching their idols do these things persuade them to excel in studies or anything they like doing the most.
- Language Development:
This is yet another important trait that can be developed in your child without much effort. By watching cartoons, children get exposed to numerous languages, which can help develop linguistic abilities in them. If they watch cartoons in the native language, they will become better at it and learn so many new words, which will increase their vocabulary.
All in all, cartoons are an inseparable part of every child’s life; you just need to make sure that they are watching the right thing and only for a specific time in the day. Don't stop your children from watching a cartoon as it can help enhance creativity, relieve stress, make them learn new things, and teach them that fun is important too.
