Then you must suck at Trivial Pursuit! (j/k) I seldom sit in front of the TV even today and focus on the show. It is more like the radio was in the old days, or the fire was in the really old days. I'll write, read, build furniture, sew, play solitaire, surf the web, play the guitar or trumpet,

It's hard to argue these findings, in my opinion. What I think is important though is the conclusion you draw from these reports. TV is just one of thousands of influencers in a child's life. As with all other influencers, both positive and negative, it is up to the parents to monitor their childre

That the kid reacted so violently suggests a lot. I didn't work for four years in the juvinile care system and not be able to pick up a few things. Spoiled kids don't show that sort of reaction. Seriously psychiatrically disturbed children do. larry On Mon, 29 Nov 2004 11:12:34 -0500, John Stanl

For one thing its a very consistent finding that there's a strong relationship between exposure to violence in the media and violent behavior in children.

How is the stuff on TV for kids these days worse than the westerns, war flicks and looney tunes that I was fed as a kid? For example, the Tom and Jerry cartoons are extremely violent, and they revel in the violence with no remorse. Certainly the Power Rangers Dino Thunder series is no worse. J

well lets see, for most the family supports are not there in any way like 60 years ago.
