Media use can have a significant impact on children's behavior in several ways. Firstly, excessive exposure to violent or inappropriate content in the media can desensitize children to violence and lead to aggressive behavior. Secondly, media use can contribute to sedentary behavior, leading to a lack of physical activity and potential health issues such as obesity. Thirdly, constant exposure to unrealistic body images and beauty standards in the media can lead to body dissatisfaction and low self-esteem in children. Lastly, media use can also impact children's social behavior by influencing their attitudes, beliefs, and values through the portrayal of certain behaviors and lifestyles.

On the other hand, parents' behavior can play a crucial role in ensuring that children benefit from media. Firstly, parents can actively engage with their children while consuming media, discussing and analyzing the content to help children develop critical thinking skills. Secondly, setting limits on screen time and monitoring the type of content children are exposed to can help mitigate the negative effects of media. Lastly, parents can also model positive media behaviors themselves, such as consuming educational or age-appropriate content, which can influence children to make similar choices and derive benefits from media consumption.
