Amelia Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 The ACNielsen people have reported that on average, our children see up to 20,000 commercials per year, depending on their viewing habits. The majority of those commercials are for products/foods that are NOT healthy for them. So if you wonder how your young child/grandchild knows what golden arches mean, turn off the tube and get out the coloring books. http://www.keepingkidshealthy.org/ Quote <p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."</span></span> Eph 4:29</span><br><br><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetemp_both/US/OR/Fairview.gif" alt="Fairview.gif"> Fairview Or</p>
carolaa Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Recently, I said something about the "golden arches," and my 14yo - who watches his share of TV - had no idea what I was talking about. I guess people don't use that term much any more. Quote
Woody Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Those arches aren't as golden as they used to be. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

Amelia Posted September 7, 2009 Author Posted September 7, 2009 I'll stick my assumptions out there and say that Adventist kids watch less TV and less secular TV than non Adventist kids. Yes/No ?

Zeta Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Less TV/more TV...Our kids today are more driven by the world wide Web and video games. Quote Be Blessed.
GreatLakesGramma Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I'll stick my assumptions out there and say that Adventist kids watch less TV and less secular TV than non Adventist kids. Yes/No ? If you're talking about on average, probably so. But there are a lot who watch just as much as the average non-Christian kid. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26. "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." -- C. S. Lewis
olger Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 The less TV, the better. We threw ours out 26-years ago. The downside was we actually had to TALK to each other. And play ball. And read. G Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."
Moderators Gerr Posted September 7, 2009 Moderators Posted September 7, 2009 Yes, at least I can speak for mine. My son's tv viewing time was restricted when he was young. Quote

Members phkrause Posted September 7, 2009 Members Posted September 7, 2009 I played ball anyway. I had some relatives that didn't allow there kids to watch any TV, so when they came to our house we had to pry them away from the tube. So you never know. I think you need to control what, when, how, etc. that the blasted thing is used. Just a thought. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
