I overheard two women talking on the bus. One said she hated TV but she uses it. "It's my babysitter!" Then she laughed. Her friend laughed. I did not laugh.
It's not funny. Babies and small children shouldn't even know what a TV is, let alone have "their shows." Older kids should be strictly limited.
We don't have a TV. We sometimes watch a movie on Netflix. The kids (8 and 6) do NOT watch television shows. They watch a maximum of four movies per month. These are prescreened by us and are watched as a family. Frankly, I consider this a compromise.
Why do kids need television? It stunts their imagination. It ruins their thinking, not to mention their eyesight. Send them outdoors to play. Better yet, go play with them. Toss the TV in the garbage, where it belongs.
