Lets be honest. Anyone who works with kids knows you have to compete with what is on the tv, but lets look at our kids. Obesity in kids is on the rise - why? We have to start somewhere. Lets get our kids active and healthy. It is rediculous to think your child would not be put in front of a tv in daycare. Lets be honest.

Too many kids these days are too used to just sitting there and doing nothing. All they want to do is be entertained. The trend now is for kids to take in so much stimulation from video games, movies, etc that we have overwieght, high def addicted kids who cannot remain focused on anything with a moving picture.

Plopping a child in front of the t.v when they could be actually excercising their brain by reading or playing or doing a craft or exercising is in my opinion just terrible for the child. It only allows the day care provider to spend time doing their own thing and not paying any attention to the child. It is very unfair to the child and allowing them to watch t.v. just shows how the provider is only interested in themselves and not the welfare of the child. I would say that use of the computer as a learning tool for learning games, etc. is allowable for a half hour per day because they are actually exercising their brain. If the t.v. show is actually educational, I would say a half hour maximum per day and for the daycare provider to build on what the child has learned so that they won't forget it. But that is it.
