peatedly sinking into the sofa
in front of the television, then
how should we expect the chil-
dren to act?
The unfortunate part is, we
can't switch our children out of
the attitudes they learn, not
from us, but from the television
they watch. When we want
them to change, the language
and knowledge is so set that
only another addict can really
realize what's going on here.
So many children, who used
to read novels cover to cover for
school assignments, simply rent
the movie. That's how they
learn the classics. So, the put-
downs, the sarcasm that we
hear from our children can be
controlled. For many of us, as
the Parenting Center taught,
it's a matter of controlling the
TV.
Like a drug, TV has gotten to
the point where it takes a tough
parental stand to determine its
role in a child's life or in the fam-
ily dynamic. Sometimes it's eas-
ier to do nothing.
With a TV, it's a matter of
pushing a button and just turn-
ing it off.
