Why do we always think that cartoons leave a negative effect in the
innocent minds of the tiny toddlers? Everything has a story on the other
side of the coin and so the story of cartoons also does have. Even if
children watch cartoon most of the time in television then parents
should instruct them what things to highlight more. Cartoon is not a new
concept.
The concept of cartoon was started around 1499. Earlier, cartoons
were mostly used for newspapers for political issues. The political
cartoons were also used for the movement of independence in colonial
America. The cartoons were mostly put in the newspapers to provide a
inner theme for the rising revolutionary spirit.Now cartoons are found
more in video format.
Print cartoons are less preferred by the people and especially the
children. Cartoons have some positive aspects also, such as educational
benefits, helps in building the confidence level in the children,
improves creativity and imaginative power, develop parents-children
relationship and last but not the least it is a source of
entertainment.Cartoons are also education oriented. Such cartoons let
the children to learn many things.
This helps mostly the infants and the toddlers to learn many new
things including new words and objects. Children learn many things even
before going to school when they watch television in their early stage
of life. They grab things easily and learn how to speak and carry out
themselves. By watching cartoon, children learn new languages and
vocabulary. Children learn languages like English more easily from these
cartoon films as compared to their teachers and classrooms because they
find cartoon films more interesting than any other thing.
Children often try to imitate their favorite cartoon characters while
watching the cartoon films. Many times they are found talking and
behaving in the same manner as the cartoon characters do. People mostly
think these things spoil children but by doing these they feel more
comfortable and confident and can mingle up with people more easily and
even can perform anything in front of the entire crowd. It even enhances
the imaginative level of the children. There is also example in the
literature that childrens imagination can be improved by television
content.
The more they watch cartoons the more it helps them to imagine things
positively. Children become more creative by watching cartoon films.
They opt for new ideas and concepts with the help of which they can
express their talent. This in a way helps to make the bond between
parents and their toddlers much stronger as when they buy story books,
watch various cartoons, and join their children to watch children
programs together.
Watching programmes in television with children is sometimes become
necessary to make the children feel that what they are watching is
worthy enough. Many researches have resulted that parent-children
relationship is much influenced by media. One of the vital thing is
cartoon films always been a source of entertainment for the children
including the toddlers and the infants. The infants enjoy the sound and
the movements of the cartoon characters and learn a lot from it.
