▶ Your Answer : Some parents might think that letting children watching television led to poor academic performance to them due to the fact that children do not focus on their study because of watching television so much. However, in my opinion, television has a variety of advantages for children to study so that parents do not need to prevent children from watching it. The reasons; watching television would be a good refreshment for children. In addition, there are a great deal of instructive contents for them.
