Kinder has picked programmes to support her claim and used it to generalise about all Post-modern television. Also, creating their own narrative can actually benefit children. It is hard to see how this one theory can explain or justify all of the influences of Postmodernism. Postmodernism has been criticised for being too light-hearted. It could be that too much is read in to this playfulness.
Many adults watch television and even play video games purely for their ability to provide escapism.
Surely children can derive the same pleasure. Not everything in the world makes sense. This gives no reason as to why all narratives should make perfect sense through their structure. If a child receives schooling and an education, perhaps this just might make sure that cognitive skills are adopted and expanded. Kinder is a worried parent who, although it is commendable and, to an extent, understandable, may be suffering from an over-active imagination.
