As I attempt to watch one more day of “educational” kids TV with my nephews whilst keeping them busy (out of trouble), I am unable to resist the urge to fuss and fume. Why? Because every show is introduced with some sort of listed ingredients that are supposed to be good for a child. As if parents are just going to approve the shows from this brief and horribly worthless synopsis?
- The educational content is lacking.
- Some of the shows are completely ridiculous/without good and/or common sense.
If anything, these shows are convincing me to NOT place a child in front of the TV. But, juggling a handful of boys who all want to do different things at the same time and who will fight with each other if you don’t sit in the middle of them…is no easy task. Sadly, it’s either TV or a laptop computer as a second babysitter. And, it really grinds my gears.
If you’d like a list of shows I’d rather not see on television, just ask. I don’t feel like pointing fingers publicly at the moment. But, it may happen, yet. I’m looking at YOU, Nick Jr. (among other channels).
