I like to try to find recipes or projects we can do that are related to the shows we watch.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11496145770645272044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835940797892661941.post-88420919805857686322010-02-18T11:55:51.881-06:002010-02-18T11:55:51.881-06:00Heh - I feel conflicted about this. 90% of parent...Heh - I feel conflicted about this. 90% of parents do allow regular TV viewing before children are two despite all the advice and all the handwringing is a bit confusing. I <a href="http://parenthood.phibian.com/?ID=34" rel="nofollow">summarized some of that TV watching-advice</a> last year before Elizabeth was born and at that time we thought - no problem; we'll just avoid TV.<br /><br />But I agree that there is a ton of stuff out there that really can help with the learning and interacting. It's also hard for us to know where the line is between TV & computer (and given my and my husband's lines of work it's completely impractical to expect Elizabeth to avoid computers until 2)<br /><br />So we're more relaxed about it now. In any case, during the Olympics all rules are off!Mary @ Parenthoodhttp://parenthood.phibian.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835940797892661941.post-87862941069748526662010-02-18T06:29:20.849-06:002010-02-18T06:29:20.849-06:00We let our kids watch a lot of tv when they were l...We let our kids watch a lot of tv when they were little. I don't see any harm in it. Mostly educational type fun stuff. Lots of singing, etc. Mine grew up just fine. Inc fact they are all very smart.<br /><br />When things are presented to them in a fun way and visually appealing and attention holding...why NOT let them watch?sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07183605567090197137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835940797892661941.post-71157110753924017242010-02-16T20:55:07.438-06:002010-02-16T20:55:07.438-06:00I am so glad you posted this.

I don't see anything wrong with it if it is used properly and not abused.Momisodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752015177628948631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835940797892661941.post-48520002509930980612010-02-16T10:21:21.631-06:002010-02-16T10:21:21.631-06:00That's so true.
