You let your child watch what??

My child is too young to want to watch anything but things like Seseme Street and Its a Big Big World. Oh and he loves commercials. And you have to watch out for those! You think you're watching a seemingly innocent movie and wham, some commercial for a horror movie comes on or something of the like. I love Its a Big Big World, it teaches us all about "the world tree" and accepting everyone and how we all have something to contribute to the world. A lot of the shows on PBS Sprout have great lessons too about sharing and such.

Now, hold on, you guys! If I were a parent of any child, I would be responsible for deciding for what is best for him/her. I would decide what is best for the child to watch as well as what is not good for the child to watch at all. You need to think about all this. That child would be way too young to watch stuff that are too mature of a subject. You guys gotta use your minds a little bit better. Cartoons are the best for children. Not anything that could include violence or any nasty stuff.

I do control what my kids watch but im not to strict. My kids watch some pretty violent stuff but its all educational as my boys love watching the history channel and the military channel. Its very impressive at there age that they would choose this stuff over cartoons as they are only 7 and 8 years old. I was afraid it would scare them as this stuff is real but they seem to enjoy hearing the stories and it doesnt give them nightmares.

Yes Jer I do for the most part, my 13 year old that is still at home, I guess I am pretty lenient with him. He watches most everything that I do. There are somethings that I do consider to adult for him, and for the most part he has no interest in them anyway. Now my grand children yes indeed we watch very carefully what they are watching and how much time they are spending watching TV. I like the noggin channel, after nap time we watch a few cartoons, as in the morning after breakfast... I adore Laurie Berkner and the music breaks they have, shucks I go all day long singing those songs myself.

I am with my granddaughter alot who will be three soon. And at first I wasn't watching close enough or listening to her responses to the shows that were on.....one night Tom and Jerry (the older cartoons that my kids watched) were on and she kept saying to me that the mouse needed a time out....well she suddenly goes turns of the set and we start playing with the legos...the big ones....and she builds a tower and says....don't do it grandma...don't hit me and before I could get the words out that I wouldn't hit her she smacked me on top of the head with her lego tower....so I put her in time out.....she says....well the mouse didn't get time out! Now I watch what she is watching!

I am not overly strict on what my children watch, I draw the line at certain things obviously but for the most part I am pretty lenient. I can monitor what dvds they watch which I do but if there older brother has them on, who is 16, then they will go and watch them in his room, so I do not always know when they are watching something they should not be.

Not only do we monitor what they watch on t.v. but also the video games they play and the websites they visit.

As the grandmother to those children, i would like to thank you.
