　　Nowadays, it has become a trend for children to participate in reality shows. However, is it really good for them?

　　There are two sides for each coin. On one hand, participating in reality shows is good for children. First, it can make children more courageous and more confident. Second, some shows such as outdoor shows can make children more independent. For example, in some shows, children are required to accomplish some tasks without their parents accompanying them. That is a good way to train the children.

　　On the other hand, children’s participation in reality shows may cause some disadvantages to them. For instance, children may become vainglorious if they win some fame from the shows. They may tend to pay more attention to undeserved reputation instead of studying hard. They may overlook the importance of working hard.

　　As a result, you really need to think carefully before you take your children to reality shows. I personally feel that these shows make the children grow up too fast. Why not just let them be children?
