You can also get useful computer programs through the Internet, a hookup of computers around the world. Organizations like libraries, colleges, and government offices give people information through their Web sites. Good children's programs are available this way, but again, the quality of such material varies and you will need to be careful in your choices. For help on how you can use a computer to hook up to the Internet and find what you need, check with your librarian. A Parent's Survival Guide published by Children's Software Revue.
Many children enjoy TV, and they can learn from it.
Keep in mind, though, that small children often imitate what they see, good or bad. It's up to you to decide how much TV and what kinds of shows your child watches. Think about your child's age and choose what types of things you want him to see, learn, and imitate. Many other good children's programs are on public television stations and on cable channels, such as Disney and Nickelodeon. Limit the time you let your child watch.
