I didn't want to be the TV cop and have constant arguments over what to see. He watched one show and that was enough. At least he knew what it was about. A fter that, we made some exceptions when there was something really special. But because they weren't used to watching, they would forget to watch.
T V can be very isolating.
I'm upset that so many kids have TVs in their rooms. That number goes up with age. Two out of three kids over the age of eight have TVs in their rooms. The only thing worse is watching TV while you're eating dinner. Those are times when families should be talking.
