The Television Tussle
August 29, 2011
We can shift culture and consciousness right where we are—only if we believe in our own sweet wisdom, only if we are willing to say, even when our voice trembles: 'Their children are our children.'

Could I recommend an addition to the author's list? I have found it most effective not to have a television, not to watch dramatized programs/videos. The rare instance when my child has been exposed to a movie or T.V. show, it is very obvious. Her play is altered and she begins to reenact what she watched. Without movies or T.V., though, her play is based on a pure imagination which reflects back the world from her point of view. I have actually changed my parenting behaviors as a result of watching her reenact something that occurred between the two of us. Very eye-opening to the observant and contemplative.
