Abstract
Children can use media to increase their understanding of the world around them as well as learn positive social behaviours. A total of 50 questionnaires were administered and retrieved for computation. From the survey, there were more boys (64%) than girls (36%) from the pool of respondents, which were basically children. The majority of the respondents believe that the usual 9pm bedtime practice is old-fashioned, judging by the number; 26 that disagreed with it, while those who strongly agreed (18%) could have been from their strict moral belief in obedience to parents’ instructions. Some respondents opined that parental enforcement on the viewing of local programmes over foreign ones is considered an act of wickedness, as the find the local programmes quite boring (62%), even though they quite agreed that TV and other media technology should be used to develop themselves educationally, religiously and morally (88%). Despite the fact that the majority of the respondents (94%) disagreed that TV and other mass media technology are bad for children, 78% of them believe that children are easily carried away by what they watch and learn from these electronic media. It can be deduced that the children living in Ikosi Community Area, Ilaro, are not also immune to the social vices they may adopt from indiscriminate TV viewing and other mass media technology use but these can be curbed if the situation is properly managed and handled. Parents, in particular, should be saddled with the huge responsibility of parental supervision on the TV viewing length, programmes rating, and other mass media technology use by their children.
