[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I am 60 and grew up in Minnesota. From the earliest ages I watched a couple hours of TV a day: Romper Room, Captain Kangaroo, cartoons. So did all my friends. Our parents didn't give it a second thought. It was fine. Today's parents are out of their minds, and raising a generation of kids who can't cope with life.[/quote] TV shows are so different now then when we were kids. The images flash so much faster. Plus the AAP recommendation is no tv before two. Plus, how good did we really turn out? I am also 60 and tv shows have never helped me “cope with life”. [/quote]. That's not true. Daniel Tiger, Tumble Leaf, Sesame Street and others are all very gentle, slow paced, educational, and developed by child education experts. If anything I would guess that tv is better than when you were a kid, not worse.[/quote] Sesame Street in particular hasn’t changed much. [/quote]
