I just found this site and I find it very interesting. Thank you so much. It has great potential. The article on commercials and children, however, leaves me cold. It is my opinion that if you have a child in the house the TV should not be on during the day and most of the night.
Childhood is the most important time to nurture curiosity and learning.
Neither is found on the TV, even children shows are a bare baby-sitting device with a facade of education. A child should be looking for seeds, birds, bugs outside. Catching snow flakes on black paper in the winter or timing water evaporation on the pavement in the summer. We as grandparents should be teaching our children to imagine and play. We are a wealth of information that should be passed on.
