PBS Parents: Your Resource for Parenting Tips & Parenting Advice

My toddler and school-age son turned me on to PBS.org.  I didn't know about all the games related to the shows on TV.  I know that sounds weird considering the commercials that come on between shows, but seriously I wasn't paying much attention.  So when they told me they wanted to go online, a few months back, I let them after some tutorial sessions on Internet usage.  One child is now 4 and the other is 5.  They do well getting to the website.  They really make good use of their time and they free me up as well.  Recently, I checked out their pages for parents.  Great tips to keep children engage with things other than TV and toys.  They also have a wide variety of topics related to: education, parenting, fun, games, activities, and more.

"Oh that's not so bad.  She doesn't know what she is looking at.  They learn about this stuff in school.  What's the big deal?  What's with all the fuss about the TV?"  If you are the rules enforcer in your home, then you may have heard a comment or two from someone who loves TV (and video games) sometimes more than the family.  You have every right to be concerned.  Teach the children right from wrong even if adults don't seem to understand or feel that they should be cautious about what they are viewing around the children.
