As a researcher on the impact of television violence on children, I'm interested in the relationship between television generally and children's behaviour. As parents we worry about the impact of TV on our children, particularly we worry that that our children watch too much TV and that this will affect their education. The Indian results seemed to go against conventional wisdom, for what we found was a country where children appeared to be more enthusiastic about TV than anywhere else, and yet their enthusiasm for school and family were unexcelled.
