This is not an easy question to answer, because not every child reacts to TV and movies the same way. Further, it is not really an "either/or" situation-- children may be influenced by film and TV, but also influenced by their parents. That said, we live in a media-driven culture, where kids have access to a wide range of choices-- TV, radio, internet, Video Games, movies, magazines, etc etc. It is very challenging to be a parent, given all of the media in our culture. Some parents try to restrict what their kids watch on TV, but there are many ways kids can watch inappropriate content (at a friend's house, via the internet, etc) and this makes policing children's viewing habits very difficult.
As an educator, I agree that children can indeed be influenced by what they see on TV (not just violence-- kids can see super-thin models; programs that seem to glorify rude behavior; or make teen pregnancy look glamorous; or programs that have too many commercials for products kids really don't need). But there is no substitute for a strong relationship between parents and children. Parents need to do more than just forbid their kids from watching X, Y, or Z (the more you forbid something, the more kids are going to want to see what the fuss is about). Parents need to learn as much as they can about the popular programs, and watch a few of them with their kids; this gives the parents a chance to explain potential issues or concerns they might have. Parents also need to be good role models-- kids learn by what they see, and if parents use TV or movies like a babysitter, their kids will learn from those media, rather than learning ethics and values from their parents.

What is the MPAA's definition of thematic elements?
Thematic elements are those elements of a film that do not necessarily fit into the traditional categories such as violence, sex, drug use and language, but may be of particular concern to parents. This rating reason raises a warning to parents to learn more about a film before they allow their children to view it. These thematic elements may include death, coming-of-age issues, verbal abuse, illness, abortion, and other serious subjects or mature discussions that some parents feel may not be appropriate for their young children.

The truant should be made responsible for what they have done because they know what they did was wrong, but the teacher should phone the parents and discuss the problem so the parents are more aware of what their child is up too and it is then their responsibility to deal with any problems that child may have for truancy and deal with it.

Is child's behavior is the result of the way he is nurtured by his parents?
Partially, yes. Children look up to their parents, whether or not their parents are a good influence. However, as children grow and mature, it is their choice how they respond to situations. For example, with freedom comes responsibilities. Children need to start to figure out more of their own problems as they grow up, because that is how it will be when they are adults. I am not saying you should loeave children on their own. But, I do mean that as children progress, they will have more obstacles to over come, and it is their choice how they respond to it. So, to sum this all up, I think that children look up to their parents and see them as an example. Parents also have the choice how protective they are of their children. If they never let them out of the door, how will they know what the world looks like? They will be naive and ignorant. This does not mean that you need to expose your children to things that are not age appropriate. Basically, my answer is yes, but not all the way. As children grow up they start to make more of their own decisions. If parents ignore a child's back-sassing or thingslike that, a child will grow up and do that to peers and other adults. You are your child's example. You make part of how he will influence the world. Make that influence good.

Should young children be placed in day care?
It depends. In my experience, parents who put their children in day-care have more time to work, and so have more money; whereas parents who watch after children themselves are ultimately closer to their children.
