' Television and internet has an impact to sexual identity of children, mother, father and opposite gender. Also, tendency to violence, reading, thinking,success, cultural astrangement are affected from Tv and Internet. A child starts to take a model from what he or she sees from internet or tv  as their culture and behave like them. After that, religion has an impact from these reasons. In addition, there are some programs include sexual things and these kinds of programs can affect the maturity age of children on Tv and Internet. '

     Ms. Oztop, mentioned that chidren should not watch tv more than 2 hours in a day and there should be some activities, instead of tv.

     Furthermore, Ms. Oztop suggest that Tv programs should be chosen from psychologists and Senior Commission of Radio and Tv (RTUK) . She also mentioned about someone who says ' Do not watch Tv ' should restrict of their Tv time. If you do do not read book and continue to watch Tv, a child will believe that ıs the correct thing to do because, a child see you as a model. She says that  ' If you want your child to read book, you should do ' 

     Ms. Oztop, says that there are more than one television at houses now and almost everyone has a Tv in their room. Everyone goes to their own room and watch what they like. On the other hand, there is a Tv on child's room. It is not accaeptable. we should not use Tv as a baby sitter because, the process which starts from babyhood can be a habit .

     Ms. Oztop, continued that there are some programs on tv, which are not allowed to watch from their parents to children and that is not good because, when children could not watch series they like , it can be a problem and they can say ' My friends watch this program, when they are talking, i could not talk and i was out. '  We recommend that families should wathc these kinds of programs together with their children. At last, we should complain any program we do not like or disturbing to the RTUK.
