Question: Do you think children should be allowed to watch TV unsupervised?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: It depends on the age and maturity of the child, as well as the content of the TV program.

Reason: Some TV programs may be inappropriate for children due to violence, sexual content, or mature themes. However, there may be educational or age-appropriate programs that children can watch unsupervised.

Example: For instance, a young child may benefit from watching educational programs such as Sesame Street, while a teenager may be able to watch a drama series unsupervised.

Alternative: To ensure that children are not exposed to inappropriate content, parents can use parental controls or set guidelines for TV watching, such as limiting screen time or monitoring the content their children are watching.
