These are very helpful tips. I quickly learned that my kids copy things they see on tv so I want to make sure I am letting them watch shows with good examples.

Our rule of thumb with kids and TV was to only invite characters “into our home” who reflected our family values. We slipped up, once, allowing a whiny young character in… and when my daughter started getting whiny, well… I knew. I messed up on that one. He had to go!

Hello Leigh. You’re smart to view TV as exposure, because that’s exactly what it is. And like all other forms of exposure, there exists good and bad exposure (& much grey matter in between). Hopefully my 1st contribution to Bonbon Break can lend a hand in the tv/media arena.

Thanks for commenting & good luck!

These are all great tips. And I’m glad you brought up the humor issue. So many of the shows on TV ARE laughing at the expense of others. It seems silly to some, but it’s a big deal to me that my kids are aware that’s not ok.

Such wonderful tips on picking the best shows for our kids! Thanks so much for sharing them! All 3 of my boys have grown up watching Blues Clues and we loved “inviting it into our family room” for many years. Blessings!
