This paper is address to the complexity of the influence of watching televi- sion upon the process of childhood socialization. In order to do so, we analyze theoreti- cal assumptions placed on the base of this process. We study in depth the roll of televi- sion as socializing agency of childhood as well as we centre our attention upon peda- gogic implications for such evolutionary period. As paper conclusion we present a list of pedagogic reflections and proposals addressed to contribute to the optimization of educational reality.
