You Are What You Watch!

We think as parents that we have that wisdom to decide what our kids should or should “not” watch on TV.

- Vineeta Kathuria

Because we are “adults” and we know what can be good or bad for them, we know which content can have an impact on their brain development – how these online content on Netflix, Hotstar, Prime can leave an impression on their innocent minds.

But have we ever considered– what kind of content should “WE” watch? What can be “good” or “bad” for us? Subconsciously, we really don’t know how the kind of content we see is actually influencing us! Believe it or not – it changes our behavior, our language, our attitude, in fact, it changes our perspective to see relationships. Many research studies support this theory. Trust me, when I started watching “SUITS” I started using its slang and even the legal language too.

DESENSITIZATION

Let me share my experience which made me realize that how it subconsciously changed me Whenever I used to read about news of brutal murder – it used to disturb me but now I have seen far more violence and gore in “Game of throne”, “ASUR”,” MIRZAPUR” than now when I read about any the brutal killing in the newspaper it has become a normal thing for me. Seeing so much violence on television has desensitized me.
