　　現在的美國兒童與他們的父母不同，受到各個方面的影響。這些影響中最重要的是電視節目，因為常常在孩子們還沒上學之間就養成了看電視的習慣了。

　　家長們對于兒童節目質量的低下很擔憂。這些節目中出現的暴力的程度也煩惱著他們。研究顯示，當兒童接觸到暴力相關的節目，很多人會變得具有攻擊性或者沒有安全感。家長們對于孩子們在電視上看到的廣告同樣也很擔憂。在兒童節目的時間，家長建議減少廣告的播出。一些家長甚至認為這種時間段的節目中根本不應該有廣告，鑒于兒童的思想還不夠成熟，不能對廣告中的一些話語做出判斷。

　　教育臺沒有廣告，而且播出的兒童節目家長們都很贊賞。其中有個最有名的節目叫芝麻街，主要是給學齡前兒童關于數字和字母的啟蒙教育，以及對他們所在的世界的一些有幫助的認識。

　　即便大多數的家長和教育者給與芝麻街，以及這類的節目很高的評價，一些評論家還是認為所有的電視節目，無論教育性與否，對于兒童都是有害的。他們認為每天看幾個小時電視這種習慣讓兒童變成世界消極無聊且被動的取食者，而不是鼓勵兒童變成世界積極的探索者
