They're always busy with other things.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-84113763273642444322011-02-15T23:22:01.370+02:002011-02-15T23:22:01.370+02:00Some people have the TV on all the time -- it real...Some people have the TV on all the time -- it really is just background noise for them. But I like to work in quiet, especially if I am writing. Also it's much better to never get started with a TV in the house. Those parents who watch themselves but do not want their children to do the same fall into "do as I say, not as I do," which is rather poor chinuch. I also believe that children who watch TV would be less likely to pick up a book for entertainment. Admittedly, though, the same applies to the temptation to play games on the computer. Happily, I'm not addicted to any online game, but the whole online thing might be considered its own game.Ariella's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409352047101582583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-16953259227124522092011-02-14T13:10:55.024+02:002011-02-14T13:10:55.024+02:00I used to have the radio or cd/records on all the ...I used to have the radio or cd/records on all the time.

Kids are definitely much better of without it, for many reasons. Can't the computer do for you what the TV does, but less?Hadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-41731541385484508662011-02-14T10:10:55.488+02:002011-02-14T10:10:55.488+02:00a, I wish I had never started, but at least it'...a, I wish I had never started, but at least it's rare for me to just sit and watch. It's mostly background noise and company.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-72831703286178594952011-02-14T08:28:02.474+02:002011-02-14T08:28:02.474+02:00i am not at all a fan of tv. it eats up time, and ...i am not at all a fan of tv. it eats up time, and most of the programs are not particularly good.<br />we never had it, and we are the better for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
