A young child is very curious and for this reason, any stimulus can be very attractive. When we have television on, it is a continuous stimulus for him, with 4 or 5 years he still has no knowledge to distinguish what is fantasy and what is reality.
The understanding he has when watching television is blurred, the characters he sees in the movie or in cartoons are between reality and fantasy, sometimes believing that what happens inside that box is real. The sample is us, when we watch the news on television, the child sees that we accept them as real and valid, this makes them also believe that what they see is valid and real. The publicity that the television emits destined to the smallest ones, is prepared so that the small ones retain very easily what they advertise. They are already very nice, with lovely music, getting the attention of children, sometimes mixing reality with fantasy when advertising a certain toy.
But the question in question is this, do these ads harm them? According to experts, as long as the programming a child sees is varied, they do not have to harm them. Although we are particularly irritated that they use their tender age for consumerist purposes.
Watching TV is fine, but with moderation, since there are thousands of activities to do that are much more beneficial for your intellectual and physical development.
