Nothing makes me happier than sitting down to tacos for dinner and hearing my kid say “Since we’re having Mexican food I thought I’d tell you a bit about the ancient Mayans, I read about them on the internet at school…” yaknow?

You know, I’ve always told people “not to let the TV raise your child” and therefore have always been a fan of imposing time limits on the amount of TV a kid should watch, with the idea that time limits should be determined on a kid-by-kid basis.

I (very luckily) never had this problem with my daughter when she was growing up – I always worked hard to engage her interest in other things (crafts, computer games and later graphic design, helping around the house, research, cooking) so I usually found that she’d tire of watching TV and turn to something else. WOO!

It’s a constant battle between watching tv and doing other activities. Hopefuly we can interest children in outdoor activites, when the weather permits.

I hate to say, but I let daughter watchtv wheni get ready for work, or when I’m cooking dinner. I really monitor what she watches though. I never let her watch “mainstream”, because I want to raise her, not gonna let the media raise her……
