Comments on: Kids and Watching TV http://www.amid.com/werd/kids-and-watching-tv/ My Curiosity, Observation, and Opinion Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:30:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: rudyamid http://www.amid.com/werd/kids-and-watching-tv/comment-page-1/#comment-2432 rudyamid Sat, 10 Jan 2009 01:44:23 +0000 http://www.amid.com/werd/?p=320#comment-2432 I grew up watching a lot of TV. In hindsight, I think that's not good. I didn't learn anything by watching people shoot or beat up each other. I can't say for certain how I'll turn out (smarter? genius?) if TV programs were much more educational back then. But, I still believe being exposed the good stuff at an early age seems more beneficial. On the flip side, I got to watch a lot of Kirk and Spock with Star Trek. Left a lasting impression there. :-) I grew up watching a lot of TV. In hindsight, I think that’s not good. I didn’t learn anything by watching people shoot or beat up each other.

The watching of most televisions shows molds younger individuals into people that are less energized to take risks and go against others. However, presenting shows to children as a creation that they can analyze, in order to view it as a producer would, instead of as a viewer, can provide them with a higher-level understanding of that which mesmerizes a large amount of individuals. <abbr><em>Armen Shirvanian´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.timelessinformation.com/your-main-source-of-competition-is-yourself/">Your Main Source of Competition is Yourself</a></abbr></em> I like that you added that you have to make sure that the water is clean and refreshing.

Amazing how they can watch these shows and listen to the songs, over and over, without getting bored of them. Hey Steve,

Yeah, my kid wants to watch TV for hours, but we won’t let her. Amazing how they can watch these shows and listen to the songs, over and over, without getting bored of them.

I believe that most things are OK in moderation, though my kids and I seem to differ on how much "moderation". :) Dora and Diego are very popular here, and I think they are fine role models (though hearing the songs over and over, and over and over, for an adult can be trying, but it doesn't seem to bother kids). As you point out, for all the grumbling, there are some fine kid shows and movies out there. I support anything that has my kids singing and dancing! ~ Steve (aka "trade show displays") hey Rudy,
