Kids' TV Contains 'Dark, Sinister' Violence
A recent Agape Press article says Kids' TV is twice as violent as adult TV. (See the article here: http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/3/102006a.asp
Do you have rules for TV viewing? I allow my children to view TV but with restrictions. We no longer have cable but have a special Family Satellite service (http://satellite.thriftytimes.com/)that cuts back the amount of monitoring, but does not eliminate it.
We also limit the amount of time of viewing as well as under what circumstances viewing may occur (after homework, etc.)
When my children were young we required them to read 1 hour for every half hour of TV viewing we allowed them.
What are your household rules? Are you happy with them? Anyone with grown children who would like to relate your experiences with us?
