Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 That is such a good point that people have been making about the difference between pbs and other, commercial, tv. As a veg*n group, the commercials are probably the biggest concern to us, and they are blessedly absent from pbs. Even Discovery Channel and TLC have very different ads than those found in Nickelodeon - and some of the Nick shows are probably okay, but the commercials just overwhelm the value. And Michelle's study was very interesting. I am fairly sure tv will be part of my son's life at some point - but I'm still trying to hold back since he's only 21 months and is my only one and I'm at home with him. Let me tell you, it would be overly tempting if he didn't take naps, or if I had another little one. Whoever said we can't just send our children outside to play anymore is right. We feel that they need constant supervision - I don't know if the world is more dangerous or we're just more aware but I'm not leaving my baby alone yet! The one mom, I forgot who, who said she did notice a chance in daughter's demeanor in watching tv - could you elaborate on that? Thanks everyone for such thoughtful discussion on this topic.
