Instead of being a passive consumer of haram programming become a producer of Islamic programs. You can do it as a profession or as a hobby. Either way, believe me, it is going to be fun, insha Allah. Encourage games, gardening and exercises. Children who should be outdoors getting bruised, dirty, and exhausted, exercise only their blinking eyelids as they sit mesmerized, hour after hour, in front of the tube.
Evidence indicates that television stifles the ability to express ideas logically.
Television viewing replaces essential play activities with passivity rather than activity. A healthy and physically fit child will be able to achieve more in life than otherwise. That's why the Prophet, peace be upon him, encouraged sports and himself participated in them. And take the young man with you. Outdoor activities are underrated among Muslims in North America.
