Since the adoption of digital TV, there simply isn’t a way to stop children from tuning in to the cartoon channel, where it’s cartoons 24/7. Before that, we all knew that cartoons were shown every day from 4 Pm and when schools were closed or Saturdays cartoons used to come at 8 am in the morning and 4 pm in the evening.

We have heard parents try to restrict children from watching cartoons, however, it’s a high time they should let them have a swell time watching them because they add more value to their lives than you would imagine.

The benefits include;

1. They open up children’s creativity

Guess what, this not only applies to children, even adults benefit from this trait in cartoons. Cartoons are limitless and the things that are portrayed in cartoon do not necessarily happen in real life. It could just shake a little sense or non-sense into the brain and you have an award-winning project.

As for kids, they are always curious about many things. Their imagination is always flowing and watching cartoons can stimulate them to imagine many topics of interest. Cartoons inspire them to tell stories from their own point of view. They can draw sketches of their favourite characters in those shows and emulate certain positive behaviour or actions they watched on those programs.
