Do you let your Kids watch shows on Disney Channel or surf Disney.com?

I would let them watch these shows. But I wouldn't want them to practice what is being shown on the telly. It should be seen only to entertain the kids and, nothing from these shows should be taken to heart. Most of these shows have good moral values in them although they are mixed with sorcery, magic, and what not.

As you know my daughters are adult now and although I babysit my granddaughters I don't get disney channel, but they do watch kids shows and Madison even likes Harry Potter! I can't believe the audacity of this preacher, they think they know everything! IMO it's scarier to think of what the catholic church did and hid involving children.. this is the type of thing that makes me shy away from religion. I'd trust a wizard or a witch more than I'd trust a preacher or priest!
IMO there is no sin in kids watching these shows, it's entertainment, something we all need, adults and children. I'll get of my soap box now

Okay. I hate to be the first (and maybe the only) one to kind of agree with the preacher, but I don't think it's right to watch those kind of shows. I'm 19... thought I should add that, because a lot of times it changes your view on the comment, right? God knows how much I loved them when I was little. And now, I sometimes do stay on the channel while they're on, longer than I should, but I really do try to avoid them. They're just so fun to watch... they kind of draw me in. Anyway. I don't think you'll go to hell, just for watching a show:P Especially, since they're only kids. But I do think it's a bad choice to watch them. I doubt you'll get a thumbs up for watching them:P I probably wouldn't feel so strongly about it, if I didn't feel so bad when I watch those shows. It's that feeling where you know you're doing something wrong.

My mom didn't want me to watch certain shows when I was like 4 or 5, but a lot of shows that she never said anything bad about, make me feel uncomfortable when I watch them too, so I don't think it has much to do with how I was raised.

So, if I had kids, I wouldn't want them to watch them, but it wouldn't be a huge deal if they sneaked in a couple of episodes. I used to sneakily watch shows that I knew my mom wouldn't like, when she wasn't in the room lol. Eventually, I was the one telling my mom some of the shows she was talking about weren't good to watch:P Hopefully, kids learn to be able to make right decisions for themselves, after some years.

Of course, not everything on the Disney Channel is bad;) I still watch some shows on there, sometimes:X

I watch Disney WITH my kids. I've never seen anything sinful in the shows.

I have issues with anyone who tells me what I can watch or read, allow my kids to see, or what to think - be it a religious person or the government.

Parents can use these shows to teach moral values as much as avoiding them if not more so.

First of all i think that preacher is a croc and dont have a clean what hes talking about..LOL But that is my opinion on that matter and My children watch the disney channel just about everyday at some point in time during the day. I see no harm in it and dont see nothing bad to it really. as long as my Kids dont act out what is shown then im alright with it But other than that no problem for me.

I call it fearmonger and I cannot stand it. I think the issue is that we have all these shows for kids to watch (not to mention onslaught of websites now) and instead of putting limits on the television for children most children get free reign on the tellie and spend HOURS a day watching it. THAT is what harms the children because they want to stop experiencing real life, playing outside or playing with friends away from these things. I believe kids are soo creative at heart and too much television could real crush that in them because their not really thinking for themselves.

I also think that its wrong to criticise psychics because God gave us the most cherisable gift of intuition and tapping into our spirits and RECIEVING God's direction but many churches refuse to allow their followers the right to their own god-given gifts. Everyone is psychic but the only reason many forsake it is because their afraid of ridicule, their too absorbed in day to day distractions or have lack faith in higher ability. Whenever I go to a church and they do not allow me to think for myself (questioning, asking, recieving is part of attaining enlightenment; connection with god) I see red flags immediately. I just hope we do not have modern day Witch hunts in the future when more and more people start realizing the psychic power was within themselves all along. It's not about magic, its about or own birthrights.

hey, hope everything's ok. well Im expecting my first child and as a future mom I don't see any harm on letting the kids watch disney channel,personally I don't find that harmfull at all, there are other things more important that worries me more than just letting our kids imagination fly..

yes I did and I would again, my Christianity is not that narrow, that people can't enjoy life.
