With Mrs. Katrina Freine

            We have all had conversations about the inappropriateness of many TV shows, videos, movies and computer games to which our children are exposed.  Much of what our young children view serves to pressure them to grow up too fast.  In October, I am asking that you begin to monitor what your children watch on TV and the computer games that they play.

Be Aware That:

1.    When children view shows beyond their maturity level, they often begin to expect that they can then participate in activities beyond their maturity level.

2.    Children often mimic much of the behavior seen on TV and may become desensitized to violent behavior.

3.    Children need parents to set boundaries concerning what they may view and how they are expected to behave.

By monitoring what your children watch on TV and setting clear boundaries for them to follow, you let them know that you care about their development and that you are willing to protect them negative influences.
