Do you keep a watch on the TV programs your kids watch ?

I agree and when my daughter was younger, we pretty much didn't watch tv. We still don't. When she was little, she watched about an hour a week. But some weeks we wouldn't turn it on at all! Good for you for paying attention to what she is watching!

I usually watch with DS2. I do limit what shows he can watch - we usually have Playhouse Disney or PBS or PBS Sprout on. They repeat things so often that I've probably already seen the episodes, so then I might not watch with him. But I try to at least know what happened so we can talk about it (retelling the story). I see no need for him to watch violent / mischevious shows. He definatley copies what he sees. I also dont' let him watch shows like Barney or Teletubbies. I can't stand them myself, and don't want to have to deal with him wanting all the "stuff" or having to sit through them with him. He thinks they're baby shows. :)

As a mother we really need to monitor and assess our kids for the right tv program that suit to thier age. You do a right thing to keep watch your daughter when she is watching telly. I remember the boy that son of my sister land lady, her kid is very hyper, he always impersonating all the violent actions of the tv program he watched and hurt some kids. So mothers or parents are must guide thier kids for a healthy programs and educational one.
