Kathmandu, January 10: The new session 2066, has started spreading its wings. Most of the schools have started to run their regular classes whereas some schools are on their way to re-open the school after the last year's session break. Children are now in leisure, which may be a reason of watching cartoons a lot. Presently, they are abided by the weight age of their study and they spend most of the time watching cartoon. Faika local Suker Lamichhane said that his seventh grader daughter Alisha Lamichhane spend most of her time in cartoon. Cartoon has engulfed the interest of the preprimary kids to the student from higher standard.
"Some of the cartoons are helpful in the development of children's mind. So, I allow my children to watch such cartoon" says Suvadra Prajapati, professionally a teacher and a mother as well.
A number of entertainment programme are broadcast in television through different TV channel eventhough children are tempted mostly at cartoon. Child psychologist Dr. Asmit Basnet opened its secrecy and said "cartoons are easy to understand and keep the childrens' eyes moving."
It is good to watch cartoon for mere entertainmant but unroutinized cartoon watching may hamper the studies and health of children. Because of the temptation on cartoon the creativity of children may die and they may lost the habit of reading and writing.
It totally depend upon the strictness of guardians to restrict the children to watch cartoon for limited time. Time limitation in watching TV and proper daily routine is profitable for children.
Nearly 10 cartoon channels including Nick, Jetix, Pogo, Disney, Disneytoon, Cartoon Network etc. broadcast 24 hours cartoon and some other 10 entertainment channels too broadcast cartoon for limited time.
