Those shows!

As a parent I have the last say on what shows my kids can watch and what are the no-nos. Even cartoons and animes, I filter them out. I understand that watching tv or movies affects a child learning in terms of logic, thinking and attitude. Shows often introduce them to what is accepted in society and what is not. For example, shows that depicts teenage kids kissing or kids engaging in fights or kids drinking or smoking, even cartoons with bad characters can make up a kids mind that those things are okay already. I don't honestly know if I can be considered strict but I honestly do not want my kids to be opened up in these matters. How about you?

i agree with you.. we have to guide our kids on what shows that fits for them... a lot of cartoons now are violent and kids would think that its ok because it is what they have seen from tv... my neice used to watch kiddy shows a lot.. like barney, dora and the likes... she learned english and a little spanish from dora.. english is our second language but my niece talks as if its her mother tongue.. i believe those shows helped... sometimes, when i see her watching shows in cartoon network like tom and jerry who are always fighting.. i would tell her she shouldnt be watching it for it is violent...
