. It’s just hard to make that transition fromwatching television to a real relationship
wait poele really feel like this i thought youcan jut realize you need toact like a normal person when your in real life like obviously not everything is the same as whats on tv is that not a given here like are people missing something
Children who have been taught, or conditioned, to listen passively mos
whoa thats true like watching tvyou just listen and dont respond because you are waiting to see what happens i see how that can effect children btu with new found technology comes new teachingd it sounds crazy but (not reaally) your gonna have to learn how to act and engage with people even if you watch tv its a big shocker to some
whether one looks another squarely in the eyeor looks to the side or shifts one’s gaze from side to side, may playa significant role in one’s success or failure in human relation-ships
that sounds like im out of luvk because i am akward thats tough
. For surely the hours that children spend in a one-way rela-tionship with television people, an involvement that allows for nocommunication or interaction, must have some effect on theirrelationships with real-life peop
this is true some kids can get wrappedup in that on screen life but parents just need to put restrisction having a really fun or cool thing is really great but too much of anythng cant be good for you
Now- everyone was sitting in front of the television set, on a holi-day, at a family party[ I remember being stunned by how awful that was.Somehow the television had become more attractive
a very simple fix is turnig off the tv and offering to play a game or even you can have a diffrent tye of fun new ofr diffrent tings rent all bad nd if you feellike it is messing up the fabric of your family life do it less
I remember it was just wonderful
shes acting a mess for no readon yes those familiy times before the television were very sweet and raw but girl the tv dosent mean you can hangout with your family just turn it off and hang out i dont knwo thats what other people o i get it but it just seems a bit much the more i read
Mealtime rituals, going-to-bed rituals, illness rituals, holidayrituals -- how many of these have survived the inroads of the tele-vision set?
i dotn think the televison has made those things disapear they have just changed it is true overcunsumption of televison or technology isnt good but it being imlimented in your life and family isnt alll bad and dosent mke a family loose it sense of home or belonging
as "that part of family life that thefamily likes about itse
the little qurky things you tell your friends that your family does and you think is actually not lame is family ritiuals but i also think some rituals arent things you may like
- those hours of sitting around at the dirmer table,the spontaneous taking up of an activity, the little games inventedby children on the spur of the moment when there is nothing elseto do, the scribbling, the chatting, and even the quarreling, all thethings that form the fabric of a family, that define a childhood.Instead, the children have their regular schedule of television pro-grams and bedtime, and the parents have their peaceful dinnertogether.
it is true that alot of thosse things are lost just be cause of the sheer amount of timespent watching tv but if it bother you or yourfamily i dotn thinkit takes too muchto se the diffrence just put boundaries in place to keep the more authenticity
; she only wishes there were some first-rate children’sshows on
so she dosent fully care because they are being quietand civil but she would prefer better connect for her children but also doesnt want to take responsubilty to give her children other things to do that wll kepp them taimed and stimulated
children’s evening is regimented with an almost military preci-sion
for some reason the way they have written this whole argumentis a little far fetched at times but i do see what points are trying to be made
we have agreed on 2V2 hours of TV a day, Sesame Street, Electric Company(~vith dinner gobbled up in between) and two half-hour shows between7 and 8:30 which enables the grown-ups to eat in peace and prevents thet~vo boys from destroying one another
they are just maing a tv schedule to aviod from confrontaion odd not what i was thinking
ready to enter diplomatic negotiation
thats a really proper way of saying shes restricting tv time and what is watched by her children norma stuff
, "Well, couldn’t she help you fixdinner? That ~vould be a nice time for the two of you to talk," and themother said, "Oh, but I’d hate to have her miss Zoom. It’s such a goodprogram!
no she dint. i know the momdidnt say the progam was better for her daughter to watch insteas of talking to her i-
what special rit-uals, games, recurrent jokes, familiar songs, and shared activitiesit accumulate
televison does take away from time to do tranditional things like i said before
television emerges as the important influence in children’slives today
i agree with this statment telviosion was almost like the gate leading to a world of accsesable technology and it did highly affect modern children

if the child’s home life is all right, parents need not worry aboutthe effects of too much television watchin

i thnk it was a given that providing so much sheer entertainment and even having the goal to have multiple televisions in the home they should have expected young children to be drawn to it and it comsuming their activities
e idea that by the year 2000 morethan three quarters of all American families would own t~vo ormore sets
i would say they definitly achieved that goal
