I have been fortunate with my kids, now adolescents. When peoiple ask what I did to raise such great kids i say luck and NO T.V.! We don't watch T.V. on school nights except in rare cases. We will watch Sister Wendy's Art Through the Ages on Sunday, for example. When we do watch either T.V. or video we watch as a family. Rarely do the kids watch alone. Maybe this is why they read A Tree Grows In Brooklyn in fifth Grade, Jane Erye in sixth, and CITR in seventh. Maybe I'm lucky, who knows. But my advice to future and new parents in no T.V., and you nust start this before 4 years old or all is lost. Patti
