First, they start learning about which things are good or not in their childhood. According to that teaching to the children is very significant. The one way to teach something is using TV shows. For example; characters in cartoon can be role models for them. While they are watching cartoon, or TV shows like cartoon, they criticize what they see and start to apply it in their life, although they cannot be aware of what they are doing. What is more, we can learn that young brains like a sponge and they can absorb everything around them.

   As you see, you can inoculate good things through TV shows. Besides, they want to copy their favorite character’s behaviors. For instance; there is a cartoon which a child watches, there is a kidney and it always helps people, eats his meal in an order, act good behaviors to people who are older than him and save the world. He starts to think that, despite he does not know, if he will be like this character, everybody starts to love him and he can save the world. This opinion makes him behave like his favorite character. Moreover, these cartoons give children to find their skills. Specifically, they listen to music in cartoons and they can start to be interest in music. They also improve children’s visual and auditory skills.
