[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 214957, member: 6271"] We have had cable for about two years. We did not have a TV at all until grade 5. Personally I have long disliked TV personally since I was little. I saw the trailers for the green berets (that dates me) and after that I could not look without my hands flashing up to cover my eyes. In college I sold cable but I read the guide about the programing. I am thinking of doing just that myself. The quality of interests a child can develop do rest in part on the materials they have to work with. It is difficult to learn to play music without an insturment and lessons. Or to aquire the skill of a dancer, or to create art without supplies. And even when those skills are there you can not sit first chair with a poor quality sounding tube of metal. WE definately do less things together and side by side. And reading is so engaging when it is the escape. The tv is just overwhelming the input time for stronge reading habits. And crafts. [/QUOTE]
