CASA GRANDE HIGH SCHOOL, SENIOR, 18. Video games are a form of entertainment; they are pieces of visual and interactive literature, and a good piece of literature makes the participant feel involved, feel for the protagonist, feel hatred and hostility toward the antagonist and feel the need to change and create. According to new research from Boston University, young children with a religious background are less able to distinguish between fantasy and reality compared with their secular counterparts. In two studies, 66 kindergarten-age children were presented with three types of stories-realistic, religious and fantastical. The researchers then queried the children on whether they thought the main character in the story was real or fictional. 1 American children between the ages of 2 and 5 spend more time watching TV than any other age group!

Not only is there benefit in allowing children to think imaginatively without forcing them into the mindset of perceived reality, but according to at least one study, raising children with religion also increases self-esteem, lowers anxiety, risk of suicide, alcohol and drug abuse, and dangerous sexual behaviour.. Joseph was sent to a mean king in a land far away. However, God sent Joseph many dreams warning about terrible storms, and Joseph used those dreams to tell the king how to protect his kingdom from the storms. The king was so amazed by Joseph and they became friends.. Fantastical: This is Joseph. Here are some of the main points they emphasize: 1  Young children watch more television than any other age group. 2  Between the ages of 2 and 3, most children develop a favorite television show and begin to acquire the habit of watching television. 1 Children's programming has consistently been found to have higher levels of violence than any other category of programming. 2  And young children also frequently watch violent programming intended for adults. 3  Young children can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
