Should Children Watch Shin Chan ?


http://www.facebook.com/sinchan.family


My favourite cartoon is Shin chan. I love him because of his love for mischief. He is a five year old boy. He lives in Japan. He goes to a kindergarten school. He has many friends. His main friends are Kazama, Masao, Nani and Bochan. They have formed  a "Kasukabe  defense group". Shin chan is the most mischievious of all of them.


His younger sister, Himawari, is also like him. She likes sparkling things. Shin chan has a pet dog named Shiro. Shin chan does not take good care of his dog. He never gives him his morning food. The name of Shin chan's dad is Hiroshi Nohara. He is an employee in a company. He loves Himamari more than Shin chan but is afraid of his wife Mitsi Nohara. Shin chan's mother, Mitsi, is the main character after Shin chan. She is a perfect housewife. She takes care of all the family members.

 However, She is very badtempered. She hits shinchan on his head which forms a bulging on his head. She hides some money which she calls her secret savings. She spends them on buying expensive clothes or cosmetics. Shin chan, by some means, always, comes to know where she has hidden her secret savings and then blackmails her that he would tell that to his dad. She, having no choice, buys him either Action kamen set or Choco chips. So this is Shin chan.


Should Children Watch Shin Chan ?


I am sure most of the Parents whose children watch the famous cartoon series “Shin Chan” on Hungama TV have this question on their mind and I can understand why they feel so. Shin Chan or Crayon Shin Chan is a very funny cartoon series but the character Shin Chan often behaves rudely with his parents, teachers and elders. In most of the episodes I watch I see Shin Chan back answering or Arguing with his mother. Shin Chan also uses some words which are very Vulgar and which may have a major effect on children. As children are very innocent and can go on the wrong way easily. They might start back answering their parents and disobeying their teacher, elders etc. which may cause them problem in the future. I think its really dangerous to allow children below 10 years to Watch Shin Chan and they might get wrong education.


Shin Chan who is always disrespecting family members, talking rudely to his teachers and friends and also sometimes pulling down his pants in the class room or road etc. If such thing are learnt by kid it would really cause problems in the society. Shin Chan is a awesome show but I believe its more suitable for teenagers and adult who love watching cartoons like “The Simpsons” or “Family Guy” Etc. In most of the countries Shin Chan is telecasted late night so Children don’t watch it. But in India its not so. However Hungama TV has filtered many scenes and sentences from the cartoon Shin Chan to make it appropriate for the kids. I don’t really know how much it is helping the children of India and their parents. But its better than nothing.



I am sure the children love to watch Shin Chan mostly because of weird behavior but if the children are properly explained that not to learn any bad habits from it and just watch Shin Chan for fun then I think it wont be a problem because if we force them not to watch Shin Chan on TV they can watch it online or any other place. Well I am happy that I don’t have such problems for my age and I can watch Shin Chan easily without any problems but Shin Chan is really a great stress buster and help me a lot when I am sad or I have tensions of my work. Do let me know your opinions about Shin Chan as to what you think ? Should Children Watch Shin Chan?
