Children’s Television
March 11, 2009
I’m very particular with what I allow my kids to watch. From the age of 2 through 6, I favored Barney because it focused on character, Blue’s Clues for it’s emphasis on cognitive development, Word World and Super Why for language development and phonemic awareness.
Now I’ve hit a road block. 7 through 10 years old. My kids have out grown Sprout and the PBS shows. Back to research I go! They’re already grounded from the after school Disney Programming. We tried it and it was not beneficial at all.
My personal belief, everything introduced to children in regards to TV, movies, toys and books should have a purpose. What are they learning from it? How does it benefit them?
