2 The Impact of TV Violence on Children and Healthy Alternatives In today's digital age, television is an everyday commodity in many families, and children are frequently exposed to all forms of media content, including violent shows. The influence of television violence on children's psychological and physical well-being is a source of concern, with numerous studies outlining expected negative implications. This article investigates the effects of television cruelty on children and suggests sound choices for cultivating their turn of events ( AACAP,2019 ). Violent television content can have a negative impact on children, including increased fear, anxiety, despair, hostility, and hypersensitivity to violence. It can reduce their empathy, creativity, and academic performance. These consequences are not only problematic for the child's well-being but also have long-term implications for society. Several factors determine how children are affected by TV violence. The amount and frequency of exposure, the realism and context of the violence, the child's age and personality, and parental guidance and supervision all play crucial roles in shaping a child's response to such content. To mitigate the negative effects of television violence, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents limit their children's screen time to one hour each day of great projects and avoid violent or indecent content ( AAP,2009 ). Parental involvement is essential, and guardians should watch television with their children, analyzing what they see and providing interesting, informative, and beneficial activities. While fostering curiosity, imagination, and self-esteem, there are a number of TV alternatives for children that can improve their cognitive, social, emotional, physical, or moral abilities. These include memory exercises, radio dramas or audiobooks, creative writing or crafts, scavenger hunts, assisting neighbors or family members, playing board games, reading books,

3 organizing the toy box or automobile, coloring or drawing, building with building sets, conducting research on interesting subjects, or taking part in athletics, dancing, or gymnastics (AACAP,2019). In conclusion, while television violence can have a negative impact on children, there are methods that parents can use to mitigate these effects. Parents can help children develop into balanced persons with substantial areas of strength for, close to home, and interactive talents by limiting screen time, providing parental direction, and with strong cognitive, emotional, and social skills, all while fostering a sense of curiosity and responsibility.
