Summary/Abstract: Developing the emotional maturity of children and teenagers is one of the most important aims of the educational process. The mass media has a great impact on individuals,therefore their role in shaping one’s personality needs to be recognized and explained as they may facilitate the educational process. Ignoring the media’s role or using it inappropriately poses a lot of dangers connected with the destruction of the child’s emotional sphere, e. g. control disorders, a lack of emotional stability or the inability to deal with emotions in difficult situations. Professional support may help the individual to avoid these problems.
