I personally grew up watching it every single day, and I think I turned out fine. I love to learn and to read, and TV did not by any means “melt my brain.” I also use TV as a babysitter for my son. He LOVES watching Super Why, and I love it because it gives me some free time to clean or take a shower while he sits and learns. He’s getting to that stage where he can sound out letters, so this show is actually helping him to do those things!

I will admit that we let him watch some of our grown up movies…but never alone…it’s usually right before bed when we all sit together as a family. But that is something that I love do to anyways, so why not start that tradition now?

Television is not all evil. It’s just becomes evil when it’s uncontrolled, mindless and for too long! In my son’s summer vacation time in fact he was allowed to watch every freakin evening! The only rule was not before 7pm- so there could be some control.Now that vacation time is over- I’ve switched back to watch on holidays only rule. phew.

Anyways thanks for picking Punch by Numbers busy bag as your fave in this week’s linky:)

We love Wild Kratts, The Magic School Bus, Bill Nye the Science Guy and most anything on Nat Geo or the Science channel!

But now that we truly “control” what we watch, it is great. Wild Kratts is a favorite here too, along with several PBS shows (including the new Ready Jet Go!) And we watch tons of cooking shows! While we have had programs we have had to reject, for the most part the TV has been our friend.
