Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families.Television is the most significant of these influences，because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.

Parents are also concerned at，out the commercials that their children see on television.

現(xiàn)在的美國(guó)兒童與他們的父母不同，受到各個(gè)方面的影響。這些影響中最重要的是電視節(jié)目，因?yàn)槌３Ｔ诤⒆觽冞€沒(méi)上學(xué)之間就養(yǎng)成了看電視的習(xí)慣了。

家長(zhǎng)們對(duì)于兒童節(jié)目質(zhì)量的低下很擔(dān)憂。這些節(jié)目中出現(xiàn)的暴力的程度也煩惱著他們。研究顯示，當(dāng)兒童接觸到暴力相關(guān)的節(jié)目，很多人會(huì)變得具有攻擊性或者沒(méi)有安全感。家長(zhǎng)們對(duì)于孩子們?cè)陔娨暽峡吹降膹V告同樣也很擔(dān)憂。在兒童節(jié)目的時(shí)間，家長(zhǎng)建議減少?gòu)V告的播出。一些家長(zhǎng)甚至認(rèn)為這種時(shí)間段的節(jié)目中根本不應(yīng)該有廣告，鑒于兒童的思想還不夠成熟，不能對(duì)廣告中的一些話語(yǔ)做出判斷。

教育臺(tái)沒(méi)有廣告，而且播出的兒童節(jié)目家長(zhǎng)們都很贊賞。其中有個(gè)最有名的節(jié)目叫芝麻街，主要是給學(xué)齡前兒童關(guān)于數(shù)字和字母的啟蒙教育，以及對(duì)他們所在的世界的一些有幫助的認(rèn)識(shí)。

即便大多數(shù)的家長(zhǎng)和教育者給與芝麻街，以及這類(lèi)的節(jié)目很高的評(píng)價(jià)，一些評(píng)論家還是認(rèn)為所有的電視節(jié)目，無(wú)論教育性與否，對(duì)于兒童都是有害的。他們認(rèn)為每天看幾個(gè)小時(shí)電視這種習(xí)慣讓兒童變成世界消極無(wú)聊且被動(dòng)的取食者，而不是鼓勵(lì)兒童變成世界積極的探索者
