The influence of television on the psychosocial development of a child can be positive, negative, or even a bit of both. Within seconds most children can mimic a TV character, sing-along to an advertisement or even demonstrate what they have watched from their show or movie. Television offers entertainment, culture, news, sports, and education. All of these are an important aspect of their lives and they have much to teach. But some of the things that television shows have to offer may not be what we want children to learn. Discussed here are: one early prime-time program generally watched by schoolchildren, a Saturday morning cartoon, and an "educational" program. Along with the programs it will include the commercials that occur during these programs. Television is one of the most widespread media influences in children's lives today. Television can be a powerful teaching tool. For instance watching Sesame Street on PBS Kids at 7 am which runs a total of 60 minutes is an example of how toddlers can learn valuable lessons. The lessons that are embedded within this show are lessons about racial harmony, cooperation, kindness, and simple math problems. Along with this, children also learn the alphabet through singing and visuals of the letters. There was no difference in how often males and females played lead roles in this program. The gender of each character were both interacting with one another. No one character had complete "control." Although there were times that one character had a portion of time on the show they always ended up being wrapped back up with the characters of the community (Joan Ganz Cooney, 2014). The impact that the shared gender roles have on school-age viewers is a good one because it shows that no male or female has complete control. Sesame Street does not have any male and/or female roles that are stereotypical, there was also no aggressive behavior amongst male and female characters. Sesame Street incorporated sharing and helping more than anything. When one of the characters were in need of help the narrator always spoke up and said for example let's help out Mr. Snuffleupagus  ( who is one of the characters on the show). Both of the male and female characters helped out equally. When it came to sharing both the male and female characters also had equal time to show that sharing was important (Joan Ganz Cooney, 2014). In the episode that I had viewed there was no aggression in the show and there was no reference into saying if fighting was good or bad. The prosocial behaviors that are enforced
