Reading more and watching less television; what a concept! I always thought I could live without mine.

It sounds like a great book. We’ve been married 12 years and have been tv free for 10 of them. I can’t imagine going back to that time waster. The thing that bothers me is that instead of disliking TV my kids watch it every chance they get when they are at other people’s houses. Hopefully they will appreciate what we’ve done for them when they’re older. Since we home school they spend many hours a day reading and playing outside. I can’t imagine a better childhood.

I have a tv, but I don’t watch it much. There are alot of negative influences on tv. I am limiting more and more how much tv the kids watch, and I have always been selective about what they watch.

When my youngest of four sons was in 1st grade the teacher asked me how I got such smart kids. I said “they watch a lot of TV” At 29,27,23 and 16 they are 1)working in Intelligence in the U.S. military fluent in Chinese, 2) valedictorian of his high school class, graduated magna cum laude from an Ivy League school and a stockbroker, 3) Dean’s list at a top 50 university and working on the Magnificant mile in advertising in Chicago and the 4) straight A’ in an all Honors program at a private school and scores in the 99% on everything. Planning on being an attorney. I watch TV. It helps me know what is going on inthe world good and bad. We also read alot, work out, make faith and friends and family important. I LOVE watching American idol

We have 3 tv’s for a family of 4. Husband and kids watch their own programs and I prefer to be on the internet. I often have wondered if this is how it is gonna be. Growing up we had 1 tv and it wasn’t even that important. Now we can’t live without all this information, but I long for those carefree days, when we didn’t know about drugs, pedophiles and violence. Also as a mother of a 10 year old, I am so overwhelmed with the amount of sex and sexual talk on tv. It doesn’t matter if it’s The Simpsons or reruns of Raymond you can’t get away from it no matter how much you monitor it. What a great idea, I will make an effort to turn off the TV.

I think this is a great cause. Last year my library sponsored events for Turn off the TV week, and we decided in our house to watch less tv. The results are great- my children are doing well in school, they suffer from less “gimmes” and our house doesn’t have the extra racket in the background. I wish every family would give this a try. Now, if every parent could teach their child to love learning…
