I grew up before there was television where I lived. I read, watched movies, and played actively. Games, sledding in wintertime, bicycles. When we did get television it was just on nights.

How can we go back in time to something like this? How can we save our children?

Best answer will be thoughtful and helpful.

I recently read a study that said that television can harm a childs attention span and intelligence. Me and my wife are avid tv watchers. But we have a son who is 11 months and i read a study that children under the age of 2 shouldnt watch but 15 minutes of television a day. Now i dont mind this i guess exept for the fact that we love to watch tv…does anyone have any opinions on this topic?
