Hi friend, I have a boy, three years boy. He is a smart boy. So far he is a polite boy. But for last he always watch Naruto, Ninja's animation film. And he imitate all Naruto did such as hitting and kicking. I angry about that and I hide the TV in the cupboard so he can't watched anymore. But he cry so loud and does not to eat until I bring TV back. Do you think what should I do ? thank you

Hi there sorry to hear that, anyway i have 19 months old daughter and now at her age she was enjoying watching tv already. But her favorites were Dora the explorer, barney and friends and Winnie the Pooh stories. I am glad that she learned how to speak because of what she watch. When she heard something she imitate it and i am glad that the programs she watch gives her positive attitude. But i am also aware that someday she will watch other programs and maybe she can imitate something that are negative so i still dont know what to do if that will happen. Anyway, goodluck to us wish our kids will grow better one. Till here hope i can make sense here happy mylotting.

Hi I 'm sorry to hear that, but I think parents should treat their children in a proper way. They mustn't dote on them, but be strict with them. Your child is so young, yet behave in a spoiled way. These movies are bad for his mental health, you have realised that, but seemed to have no idea. I think first, you should be strict with him and take it for granted when he is crying, several times later, he will know your firm stand and weaken the desire of watching that kind of movies. Second, watching movies too much is not so good for his eyes and social ability, I think you'd better take him out for walks in the parks or somewhere else, instead of letting him sitting in the sofa and immersing in the program plot. And some other activities , such as telling stories, learning a musical instrument may also help. Third, parents play important roles in children's growing up, mostly, when children can not judge what is good to them, they will immitate their parents, so parents may influence them easily,so I think you should also behave yourself well . Anyway, I'm not mean to forbid your child watching movies, but diffuse his attention on the movie, and sometimes, when he is in good mood, you can suggest watch other movies which are good for him, and do whtch with him,reasoning things out to him. When children are young, education depends mostly on parents. Good luck!!
