[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I wouldn’t do this. It just seems like it’s not teaching the right things — a bit too arbitrary and kind of meaningless. It’s like, eat one vegetable and then one candy bar. You’re sending the message that as long as you eat one vegetable you can eat one candy bar, is that true? As long as they walk around the block once then it’s fine to watch 30-45 minutes of TV? If your kids are toddlers, they shouldn’t be watching anything. Age 3 is a bit tricky but by 4/5 they should be able to be engaged by books on tape. If you have to put a meal on the table, better to use a documentary show or something with slower camera movements as the rapid cuts and emotional pay offs in cartoon shows train you for a short attention span. Hopefully by 6 or 7 they can read or draw to entertain themselves. [/quote]
