its because TV is more entertaining to children and thus it gets into their heads easily  :)

Children .....y? ..well for a variety of reasons . I'll be mentioning some ;)

1.Children are innocent creatures they believe anything they hear or see .

2.Children are new to this world with no experience ,don't know what's wrong and what's right so when they see something they tend to imitate *if u have a younger sibiling/relative u'll nkow what i'm talking abt ;) *

3.There has been a research i read where a bunch of kids were shown a video that had a boy smashing a doll with a stick ..idk.......and the kids were later placed in different rooms with the same doll in each. Most of the kids did the same action that had been shown to them

I'll share more reasons once i remember iA ;)

Yup I agree....kids are innocent and leaving them to watch something alone, under no supervision, is not favorable. they tend to mimic things they see, which could be hazardous.

It influences children more for pretty obvious reasons.

It depends on the issue at hand.

There is never a rule of the thumb for these questions.

yes this is because they are mainly new to this world... and their minds are blank slate... they'll write and draw what they will see and watch.. if they are much interested in TV.. they will influence with it.. behaving they way they have been watching :P

Yes.. agreed with Golden girl about that doll point she mentioned. it was a psychological case study conducted on the bobo doll at the developmental age of children conducted 30-40 years ago by albert bandura mainly on social learning theory which is now with recent tech like TV :)
