In the course of a year, an average American child will spend over 1,000 hours in front of the tube as compared to only 900 in school. On the other hand, television watching is primarily a passive experience, which, while occupying our eyes and ears, does little to exercise our minds. It's the ability of a child to imagine him or herself as a pirate on the high seas, an author to write a book, an inventor to create a new product, or a business executive to develop a new product, or a business executive to develop new ways of delivering products. Unlike reading, reflection, problem solving, and imaginative play television discourages creative thinking by providing essentially complete, readymade stories. We must help America's children to break free of TV, and learn to lead balance, vigorous, engaged lives.
Parents turn off the TV and read or do any number of activities.
