This document discusses the effects of TV violence on children and some measures parents can take. It notes that viewing TV violence can cause children to accept violence as a way to solve problems, imitate violent acts, and become immune to violence. Statistics show that exposure to TV violence is linked to increased murders among children in both the US and Russia. The document recommends that parents teach their kids media literacy, watch TV with them, only allow age-appropriate programs, and discuss rules with other parents.
