There s a lot to be learned from television. Like what s happening in the world today, what important issues we should be concerned about, and what we can do to improve our lives. For parents, helping kids tap TV s potential is as important a job as making sure they re doing their homework. Talk with your children about what s on television. Help them choose programs that will help them learn and grow.
TV s their window on the world.
Help them use it right. Subjects could range from local history, government and culture to what local kids are learning in science class. But there are lots of other fun things we can do, too. We can go out on our bikes, shoot hoops, play soccer or even find a fun book to read. But it's not the only one.
