No. Only within limits and under parent supervision. Research has shown that violence on TV teaches a child to react in violent ways. Children were shown violent Cartoons and a set of children weren’t shown violent cartoons. The behavior on the playground of children watching violent cartoons were more violent with other children compared to the set of children who didn’t watch violent cartoons. The violence in TV, movies, games, and video breaks down the psychological barriers of hurting others.

How much is too much television?

Parenting and child guidance experts differ on the specific amount of television each child should have, so it's best to just use some plain common sense. Some parents don't let their children watch any TV, while others simply let the TV "babysit" their children to keep them out of their hair. There should be a balance in there somewhere. Television, like other forms of media, can be both an educational and good moral influence on your child, but should not be a substitute for your teaching and example. Children can benefit from some TV watching and it's up to you to decide how much is too much. (I personally only let my children watch a few hours a day). When they watch it all day everyday! You should probably only allow 2-3 hrs of virtiual things (TV, Video Games, etc.)
