10. Positive effects of cartoons on children

What other aspects affect a child when it comes to cartoons? There are also positive effects of cartoons to children. Most of them might be negative but we also have to consider that there are some help that a cartoon can give to a child. What are those things?

While searching for more articles about the effects of cartoons on children, I found this article entitled Effects Of Cartoons On The Daily Life Of Children written by Naresh Samal. Naresh sited some of the positive effects of cartoons on children. According to him, violence is really implemented on cartoons but not all cartoons are like that. There are cartoons which gives knowledge to children. Since most of a child's parent is busy at work, the tendency is a child to watch cartoons all day. Some cartoons helps a toddler or a child to be familiar of the words together with its meaning. Children's imagination can be improved by watching cartoons.


One of the famous cartoons is Dora The Explorer. This is an example of an educational cartoon. Dora teaches children how to count, different kinds of animals, courtesy, and sometime she gives Spanish words and its meaning. It is true that there are cartoons that give positive effects on children. My niece likes Dora so much and I think it's good that she watches a cartoon like this. She learned how to count and also different kinds of colors. It is great when a child is having fun while learning. 

Naresh Samal stated "When we are born we have the capacity for motivation, experience, and training, and because of this our minds are very impressionable." Yes we are born with those abilities. Our minds can think widely with the help of our imagination. Motivation and experience are considered to be a key to success. Our minds are considered as very impressionable because we can think of something without letting someone know it. We are capable of doing things that we want or what we need.

I know that parents do not want their children to be at the bad side. What do they need to do is just guide their children in everything they do. Just like when their child is watching cartoons. They must allow their child to watch cartoons but not the violent ones but the educational cartoons just like Dora The Explorer. Children with wide imagination are the ones who are more creative than the others who don't watch educational cartoons.
