[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We started around 4 when he started to take an interest in sports.  We let him watch soccer or basketball with us (or the Olympics).  A little later we discovered Peppa Pig.  
No computer or "educational games" until he was introduced to them in elementary school.  [/quote]

OP here.  DS loves watching kids and adults play soccer or basketball in the park.  I mean - LOVES - he claps and shouts "hurrah"!  He is going to be two next month and I wonder if that is something he might enjoy more than programs or educational games.  Plus I read that the images don't flash as fast in televised sports as they do with something like "Sesame Street".    [/quote]

This is what we do with our almost 3yo. He doesn't watch any kids shows but watches a few minutes of Nationals baseball with us before bed. He likes to stand in front of the TV and pretend to pitch, hit and catch along with the players and has also started pointing out the numbers on the players jerseys (without us asking or mentioning them). He seems to interact with the TV in a way I don't know if he would if it was a cartoon which makes us feel a little better about it. Its also nice to know that baseball is only on in the evenings so its not an option all day long. [/quote]
