Title: Gadgets, TV and our kids
Post by: Mommy Jazz on May 12, 2008, 10:04:17 pm
Medyo alarmed lang ako kanina when my 4yo saw in TV a couple's long puckered kiss on the lips with eyes closed pa. She likes the way Dyesebel kisses the boy. I didn't show any sign of shock. She doesn't understand 'romantic' kiss yet, but this leads me to ask, how can I explain this to my kid. Or maybe I should wait til she gets a bit older, "crush" age? She sees it on disney princess stories, they kiss their prince, so what difference does Dyesebel make?

I let her freely watch TV pero Disney Channel and Nick Jr. lang. 

On gadgets naman, how can you tell if the child is already addicted? How much is too much?

 :) hi mommies...typical yung mga reaction ng mga bata, they imitate or mimic yung mga nakikita nila. in my case, my 3 year old daughter (yancy) saw my hubby and i give each otehr a smack on the lips. sabi niya, pwede din po ako kis? sabi ko, ang mga babies di pa puwede kiss sa lips kasi pag me sipon yung kikiss sa kanila, mahahawa sila. mula non, di na sya kis sa lips.  TV watching is already a big issue, dami kasing programs na di talaga pambata, kahit pa GP ang rating.  meron daw kid's lock or something sabi ng sis ko sa states, na yung tv pwede mong i-set lang sa particular program or channel at a specific time pero di ko alam kung meron din dito sa atin. sana nga meron...

ask lang po. napansin ko lang po na parang nanonood na po yung baby ko. di ko alam kung ok lang po b un? and since yung MIL ko ang nag aalaga sa baby ko kung ano yung pinapanood ng MIL ko un yung napapanood niya. gusto ko snang papanoorin siya ng mga educational shows like brainy baby and baby einstein kaya lang feeling ko he's too young for it pa.

For me, ok lang papanoorin mo baby mo ng baby einstein or brainy baby...

exerpt from http://www.zerotothree.org/site/PageServer?pagename=key_language

Many people believe that children learn to read and write in kindergarten or first grade. But developing literacy skills begins at birth through everyday loving interactions—sharing books, telling stories, singing songs, talking to one another, or pointing out and naming objects.

visit the site and you'll learn alot from it, meron din sila downloadad na reading materials in PDF... :)

ok thanks po momi rmi.
may brainy baby books na kami. yung colors and shapes yung binabasa ko sa kanya.

di ko kc alam kung bibili ba ako ng educational dvd eh ipapanood ba ng MIL ko. medyo kc matipid sa kuryente un eh... halos ayaw gumamit ng appliances that consumes electricity

sa tanghali at gabi lang sila kung manood ng tv.. yung GKNB at eat bulaga. tpos sa gabi soaps naman...

(excerpt from http://www.zerotothree.org/site/DocServer/GettingReadyforSchoolBeginsatBirth.pdf?docID=781&AddInterest=1153)

TV plays a limited role in learning. Although children may learn some concepts from educational
programming, and enjoy watching these shows, research tells us that children learn
best from interactive, hands-on experiences—touching, feeling, manipulating, problem-solving—with
people they care about.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no TV for children under 2. If you do choose to allow your child to watch, here are some suggested guidelines:

Watch with your child. Make TV watching an interactive experience. Dance and sing together. “Extend the learning” by talking about what he’s viewing and
connecting it to the real world. If the show deals with the theme of sharing,
point out how this comes up for your child in his daily life. If he’s learning
about colors, talk about the different color houses you see as you take a walk.

Don’t use TV/video to put your child to sleep. This makes it hard for
him to learn to fall asleep on his own. Instead, establish a bedtime routine that
includes soothing activities such as reading and singing softly to him before
you put him down.

Limit viewing time. A 30- to 60-minute-a-day limit for any “screen time”
(meaning time spent in front of a TV or computer screen) is reasonable for
2- to 3-year-olds.

mommy rmi, many thanks for posting this one.  i copied it and i shared it sa mga ofc mates ko. ganda! na validate din yung mga opinion ko kasi my MIL loves o watch soap operas so pag visit ang baby ko napapanood din siya, then paguwi naman sa nanay ko (where she really stays) bawal naman soap operas so medyo noong una naconfuse c yancy: pwede ba o hindi para sa kanya ang soap operas.

my daughter Cadence is like that.  she was imitating it when she watched the Cinderella 3 cd....to the point of kneeling down and as if she's holding a box of ring and asking me to marry her  :D

i let her do it at first but later on i told her that kissing like that are meant for Daddy's & Mommy's only.  I also explained why the prince asked that to Cinderella.   She does kiss us still on the lips but not the way he has seen on the cartoons.  but she still asks me often to marry her but for her it's just a game na lang kasi after that she herself would tell the explanation behind.

so even before those incidents hppened we were already strict on things she watches, imagine kung hindi di ba?  even the maids and yaya's are strictly informed on what and what not to let her watch.

I've a friend who taught her toddler son the diff kinds of love kasi he's having a crush on his classmate. His Mom said, there's family love (Filial), Love for God (divine) and Friendship love. Now this should be classified as platonic but she was referring to romantic kasi kids don't understand romance yet. So, the love he feels for his classmate is called 'friendship love'.
I could explain the same to my daughter, but she might give her friends a long kiss too thinking it's just a friendship kiss. Ano na?
I've nothing against her seeing kissing scenes kasi nga, disney princess stories has it. I don't want to stop her from watching Dyesebel just because I don't have the right explanation yet. Besides, she picks up the moral of the story and lately is getting more creative in her drawings because she sees this on the show.

Post by: eve on May 24, 2008, 10:04:55 am
hi mommy jazz.  i like the idea of the different kinds of love but explaining that to a 3 or 4 year old, hmmm. medyo mahirap. maybe we can simplify like: mommy and daddy kiss, baby kiss ganun.  wen yancy saw me and hubby exchange kisses alam niya pang nanay at tatay kiss yun at me special kiss for babies at yun nga, she and her cousins created the "amiga" air kiss with matching tilamsik ng mga daliri.  maybe we as mommies can make it a game di ba?

My 2yo starts liking Blues Clues so I digged into our old VCD racks and bought new ones. I personally like Steve because he can make a lot of diff facial expressions, but my 5yo likes Joe. She wouldn't believe me when I explained to her that Steve and Joe are brothers. When she was a baby, I've seen the episode when the brothers had a turn over because Steve has to go to college. I didn't know they have it on DVD and it took me 3 video stores to find it, 1 remaining copy. It was on sale at P100 titled: Get to Know Joe. I highly recommend it to all Blues Clues fans. To me it's a collectors item. I didn't know Steve and Joe has 3 episodes together. It's funny and weird seeing them both host the show. An aging Steve and very young and skinny Joe. They both project differently on cam and their characters don't clash. It's convincing they're brothers. The part when Steve has to leave is touchy that my 5yo was teary eyed. After seeing the video, she started to like Steve too. The video also explains where the stuffed toy duck came from, why Joe has a different notebook and a lot more. There are a lot of funny momets like when Joe got to play Blues Clues for the 1st time with Steve. Parang he's on training. Steve's last words to Joe before he left was "Remember, Blue's pawprints will be on the clues."

my child is four months. we watch yo gabba gabba together. i can see she's pretty interested with the mascots kasi they have big eyes. although she doesnt understand the themes pa of the show.

naku mommies, di ata ako excited na dumating sa stage na my baby will ask about romantic love ganun, haha i dunno what im going to say. siyempre it'll will be cute pero what i have read in magazines/books/internet is that di ka na pwede magpaligoy ligoy sa mga bata nagyon.

I always read that too much TV is bad for kids. How much is too much? My kids are 2 and 5yo. Our channels are glued to educational programs. If my 5yo watches a PG rated movie, I explain to her the scenes and for her to consult with me first before she uses words she picked up at Spongebob.
TV has helped my kids a lot and the time they're glued, that's when I can do housework.
An Occupational Therapist lately explained to me to cut the TV viewing of my 2yo because TV is not interactive. He may learn but won't respond which is important to developing his speech. The times I need to cut his viewing time, that's when I should spent time playing with him like puzzles, shape sorters and similar toys.
Just want to share.

How much is too much? That is also my question.  My kids are 6 yo and 20month old.  My in-laws are the one taking care of them while we (hubby and i) goes to work.  My in laws are addicted to TV (kaya nga minsan ang taas ng kuryente namin   :o  hehe! halos walang patayan yata lalo na ng magka-cable   ;))

Though, on the other hand, nagiging bibo naman ang kids sa kapapanood ng commercial  ;D my 20month old boy is dancing like nobody's business whenever he hear some commercial. he imitates the children or the commercial itself. By the way, my kids learn to appreciate national geographic and the like kasi pag dating namin ni hubby doon na nakatutok ang channels.  ;D

My 6yo daughter naman, memorize na lahat ng palabas sa lahat yata ng channel  :o  joke na lang ng mga in laws ko - tv helps sharpen the memory  ;D :D

tama un MommyJen, baby ko din kase 20mos old super biba na dahil sa kakapanood esp yung favorites nyang mickey mouse, bunny town at word world sa disney channel! halos walang patayan ang tv basta gising sya pahinga lang ata ng tv pag tulog sya e.hehe.. she already knows how to count 1-20, alphabet, animals, shapes and colors! she also loves singing and dancing,memorize pa niya yung mga name ng characters ng pinapanuod niya..pero tinutulungan ko sya sabay kami nanunuod mas natututo kase sya wen we talk about what we are watching like i ask her what color or shape was dat or how many was dat nga ule..mas madali niya naaabsorb(i think)..i only let her watch yung mga educational na palabas, kaya ako sacrifice ng mga palabas na gusto ko panuorin i watch lang pag tulog sya.
fulltime housewife kase ako at breastfeeding till now kaya super close at bonding kami to the max ng baby ko...=)

Too much of everything is not good...including TV, Which studies a have shown that it may lead to Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) because of the high speed scene change.

Try watching a regular show on TV, majority of the shows nowadays shift scenes from 2-3 seconds or less. Imagine if the child gets used to that kind of visual stimulus pace. Getting him to focus at an activity or being still for a few seconds would be a challenge for both of you. :(

Natural interaction is still the best way to go. Give some time to sit and play or even talk to your child.
Being a very busy person myself. I take it a point that I devote some time to interact with my kids even though I am so drained from work.

with micah, my pre-schooler, no TV from sunday to thursday for the whole schoolyear.  she can only watch tv after school on friday until saturday.  during vacation, we limit her tv viewing to 3 hours a day, hindi straight na 3 hours ha.  one hour n the morning, one in afternoon and one in evening.

aside from disney chanel movies and nickelodeon channel, i usually watch tv with her so that i can explain some scenes.  we even choose the shows.  she watches telenovela with me so that she can learn the tagalog dialect.  purely english speaking kasi sya.  but i explain to her every scene we watch.

with iza, my toddler, she's limited to barney, dora, sesame street, backyardigans, wonder pets, blues clues.  no other shows muna.

thanks mommy BuildingBlocksClinic..its true, i believe it and ive read several articles on books and internet abwt dat too...but as of now i do let her watch anytime she wants..i wil make sure naman po that it wil change as soon as she goes to school.
besides she doesnt watch naman po all the time, she sometimes listens lang wyl we are playing, reading or eating.
hindi din naman po sya nakatutok palage sa tv, she walks around the house or sits far away the tv or plays with her toys wyl the tv is on. gusto lang niya bukas lang ang tv at naririnig niya.
also everyday between 4-6 pm we go to the park or just outside the house to see her friends kaso paguwi tv nanaman.hehe..
nandito po kase kami sa house ng parents ko kasama brother and sister ko kaya marami din talagang interactions.
madali din naman po syang pagsabihan kung kailangan ng patayin ang tv..
so far wala naman din pong problem sa focus niya on any activity we are doing..

for me po, its just a matter of guidance nalang tska depende din po sa bata kung madaling matuto...
fulltime housewife and breastfeeding mommy naman din po ako til now even if she is almost 2yo kaya no problem sa bonding namin ni baby..
thanks :)

Vigilance is what we need when it comes to TV watching. The cartoons nowadays are full of violence and explicit scripts especially the ones in cartoon network and Nickelodeon (not the Nick Jr.). Use of words like "idiot", "stupid", "Imbecile", "Kill", "destroy", etc. are being used more often by characters which is sometimes being acquired by kids when they interact with their peers or even with their parents.
Title: Re: Kids and TV
Post by: Mommy Jazz on June 20, 2009, 10:18:55 pm
That's true. Kaya I tell my daughter that if she learns a new word on TV, she should ask me first before she use it. I try to hide my shock when she asks me about words I don't approve of like "loser". Mabait namang bata. She also asks me why her friends use the word and she can't. I just explain that she doesn't have to be like them.
I hope I can always keep up with her questions. I want to be the kind of Mom she can ask everything about so  we'll be open with each other when she grows up.

My daughter, 2 years and 11 months, is very fluent in English.

She was introduced to watching DVDs like Baby Einstein, Baby Mozart at 9 months.
.....pati nga Wowowee because of her yaya, pinanunuod din.

PLAYHOUSE DISNEY lang ang pinapanuod ko sa kanya and it seems that TV had good influence in the development of my daughter.  She knows how to read, in BIG and SMALL letters, the ALPHABET, counting 1-20, can identify animal sounds and pictures.....amazing how she speaks in english......as in complete sentence ang sagot niya so no choice kami kung hindi mag-English din sa bahay pero kelangan pa rin mag-tagalog so that she can understand.....................

Its okay to let your children watch TV but make sure to guide them.......show them the real world hindi lang puro TV........I reassure you ma-appreciate nila.

i agree with mommy mworx  :)

my son is 3 years old but he started reading at 2 years of age. the only videos he is allowed to watch are the educational and (rarely) playhouse disney. he's currently fascinated with Thomas the tank engine and friends... so i download episodes over the net. (medyo british accent lang yun nakukuha niya dun sa series  :P hahaha!) no matter what accent he gets... what's important is that he can read, he has memorized numbers 1-20, the alphabet and he loves singalongs plus he can really catch the melody/tune. he is also familiar with some nursery rhymes and love reading books. oh... he likes the IPad educational apps, but i make sure he still understands the difference between the flat touch screen and real physical shapes and textures.

proper guidance lang.

Title: TV before bed a bad idea for kids, researchers say

TV before bed a bad idea for kids, researchers say

Letting young kids watch television before bed interferes with their sleep, according to a study published June 27.

Researchers surveyed the parents of about 600 preschool-age children, from 3 to 5 years old. Children who were allowed to watch violent television during the day (meaning children's programming that contained violent scenes) increased sleep problems, and watching TV after 7 pm was linked to sleep problems, regardless of whether or not the programs contained violent.

The researchers advise that doctors ask parents to limit late-night television and media, and violent programs in general, for young kids. Be mindful of childrens' programming -- some shows are more suitable for seven- or eight-year-olds, not preschool children, the researchers said.

Kids with TVs in their rooms watched more TV and were more likely to have sleep problems; also, the more television children watched, and the more violence they were exposed to on television, the more problems they had sleeping.

The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, adds to the growing body of research that finds children who watch violent TV, or even too much TV during the day, may struggle with bedtime and naptime schedules, including one from 2008 from the University of Washington that yielded similar findings.

Access the study here: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2011/06/23/peds.2010-3304.abstract

after my jana's development assessment, i asked the Dev.-Pedia on the effect of watching TV at an early age and said.

"the brain develops critically during the 1st 3 years of child's life.  all the information outside, pinapasok niya sa brain and TV is not helpful, in fact, it may destruct or harm child's brain development. child below 2 years old should have no TV at all, for 3 years old and above, maximum of 2 hours only a day". wala naman daw maitutulong even educational videos. kaya raw gusto ng mga bata ang TV Ads kasi mabilis, kaya rin daw gusto ng mga bata si barney, dora, etc kasi mabilis ang episodes. then pag nag-aaral na raw, hinahanap na ng bata yong mabilis, malikot si bata at don nakikita na minsan ang bata may behavioral problem though they seldom diagnosed ADHD.

napaevaluate namin si jana because she is very malikot at makulit but the assessment result turned out na mataas ang cognitive skills niya at her skills are advance than her chronologic age kaya the doc advised us to send jana to school though she's more 3 years old. now, she allows to watch TV for 2 hours lang and no TV at all for my 10-month baby boy. in short, pati kami di nakakapanood ng TV, eh di ko nga alam na may bagyong Lando na kung di sa office hehe

if dora naman wala pa sa kalahati naiinis na siya but dun sa iba very attentive naman si baby....

Noong baby pa ang daughter ko, my wife and I both believe "No TV until the age of 3"

Todo effort kami noon na huwag i-expose ang baby namin sa kahit anong visual electronic media.  Iniwasan namin manood sa TV, DVD o kahit sa computer.

Tutok kami kay baby hangga't kaya namin, kahit pa anong hirap dahil full time kami na nagwo-work.  Kailangan maraming real interactions.  Dapat makikipaglaro kami kay baby.  Interact kami with our surroundings.  Explore namin ang room, ang house, tingnan ang view outside...wonder at the moon and stars.  Kahit noong newborn then infant pa lang siya, dinadalhan ko siya ng toys na ang color combination ay may white, black at red (RBW stimulation). 

Later, nang mga 3 to 5 years old na siya, kahit pa nakakapanood na siya ng Dora the Explorer, Barney, at naging favorite niya ang Hi-5...patuloy pa rin kami sa pakikipaglaro sa kaniya.  May time nga noon, kaya niyang mabuo ang puzzle ng map of the world.  At first, nahirapan siya sa mga countries ng Europe.  Pero later nakuha rin.  All that is play ha.  Hindi siya under pressure.  Ang totoo naman kasi, wala kaming intension na gawin siyang genius (aware kami ng wife ko sa hassle ng pagkakaroon ng mataas na IQ eh hehe).

Lumaki ang daughter namin na maayos.  Hindi siya naging tulad ng ibang bata.  Hindi siya over stimulated or inconsiderate with others...hindi katulad noong mga nakakalaro niya sa mga Play Area ng branches McDonalds or Jollibee. Very sensitive siya...ayaw niya makakarinig na bad words...ino-off niya ang TV kung may violence.  Kahit violent words kasi avoid namin sa house.

Hanggang ngayon na 8 years old na siya, hindi siya pala-nood ng TV.  May time lang at hindi tuloy-tuloy ang panonood niya ng video streaming sa You Tube, or Flash Games, or Facebook games.  After 30 min. of looking at the computer screen, ire-rest niya eyes niya for 30 minutes...minsan di na siya babalik at magdo-drawing na lang sa study table niya.

These days, kaming mag-daddy ay nag-e-enjoy sa paper airplanes at origami paper crafts.  Mas mahilig siyang magbasa ng books lalo na kung weekends.  Minsan, kailangan pa ngang pagilin para magjoin na sa amin ng mommy niya for breakfast.

By the way, laging nasa Honor's List ang daughter namin since Grade 1.  Ang average grade niya lagi ay "Outstanding".  Hindi namin ine-expect kasi para sa amin, kulang pa ang tutok namin with her studies.

I just wanted to share here what we did as parents ha.  Baka makatulong po kasi sa iba.


The following is from the web site of Princeton University:

"...children under eighteen months may not understand, and thus learn from, television in the same way as do older children."

"Some research suggests that children do not begin to discriminate between television and real-life events until the early preschool years."

"Many infant-directed media products make explicit claims about their educational value; others, with titles such as Baby Einstein, keep their claims implicit. But analysts know little about the extent to which children two years and younger learn from commercially produced television programs. Experiments on learning from video have repeatedly found that infants and toddlers learn better from real-life experiences than from video. "

Media and Young Children’s Learning
Heather L. Kirkorian, Ellen A. Wartella, and Daniel R. Anderson

Summary

Electronic media, particularly television, have long been criticized for their potential impact on
children. One area for concern is how early media exposure influences cognitive development
and academic achievement. Heather Kirkorian, Ellen Wartella, and Daniel Anderson summarize the relevant research and provide suggestions for maximizing the positive effects of media
and minimizing the negative effects.

One focus of the authors is the seemingly unique effect of television on children under age two.
Although research clearly demonstrates that well-designed, age-appropriate, educational television can be beneficial to children of preschool age, studies on infants and toddlers suggest that
these young children may better understand and learn from real-life experiences than they do
from video. Moreover, some research suggests that exposure to television during the first few
years of life may be associated with poorer cognitive development.

With respect to children over two, the authors emphasize the importance of content in mediating the effect of television on cognitive skills and academic achievement. Early exposure to ageappropriate programs designed around an educational curriculum is associated with cognitive
and academic enhancement, whereas exposure to pure entertainment, and violent content in
particular, is associated with poorer cognitive development and lower academic achievement.
The authors point out that producers and parents can take steps to maximize the positive effects
of media and minimize the negative effects. They note that research on children’s television
viewing can inform guidelines for producers of children’s media to enhance learning. Parents
can select well-designed, age-appropriate programs and view the programs with their children
to maximize the positive effects of educational media.

The authors’ aim is to inform policymakers, educators, parents, and others who work with
young children about the impact of media, particularly television, on preschool children, and
what society can do to maximize the benefits and minimize the costs.

@ Daddy Jojo: Thanks for the input..:)..Actually, ayoko rin po sobrang ma expose ang baby ko sa T.V because I heard negative feedback from the parents who let their children watch TV for long hours..:).. I’m a working mom and mother ko ang nagbabantay sa baby ko and may times na may kailangan siya gawin...that’s the time lang na pinapanood namin siya ng T.V while she’s on her crib or walker..:)..and hindi rin naman siya totally tutok sa T.V because she’ s exploring/playing around at the same time..:)..
Anyway thank you for sharing your strategies Daddy Jo..na impress po ako..:)…I will take note all of those para ma apply ko rin sa baby ko..:)

Hi Mommy louiss,

Thank you for reading what I shared ha.  Since sabi sa research eh wala naman palang mabuting makukuha ang baby natin sa TV, Video at iba pang visual electronic media...dapat lang siguro na alamin natin kung ano nga ba talaga ang makakatulong sa kanila.

(In fact, may research in the recent 5-10 years na nagsasabi na ang blue light mula sa screen ng TV ay nakakasama sa mga bata...yung flickering light mula sa isang cartoon ay nag-cause din noon ng tinatawag ngayon na Pokemon Seizure).

Ano nga ba ang tama sa age ng 8 month old?  Sabi ni Eric Erickson, sa 8-18 months old daw ay Basic Trust vs. Mistrust Stage at nagiging aware na ang baby sa kaniyang environment.  Ito na siguro ang pinaka-critical time para mag-bonding ang parents with the baby.  Hangga't maaari sana, iwasan na hindi tayo nakikipag-interact kay baby.  Hindi siya dapat iiwan na magisa lang at nanonood lang ng TV o Video. 

Siguro ang mga toys ay dapat na mare-reinforce ang orientation ni baby sa family at environment niya. Siguro  a family of dolls and simple blocks that could be used for building. 

Suggested activities - tulungan si baby na gamitin ang mga senses niya, especially ang touch.

Let baby feel and touch different surfaces or textures, like the face, skin, hair of mommy or daddy.  Let baby smell different kinds of fruits, like a banana or orange. 

Play pleasant music.  This creates the feeling of space.  Classical music, specifically Mozart, has been said to provide the most brain activity (please check out Discovery Channel's documentary Smart Babies).

Child Development and Parenting
http://www.joburbank.com/Child_Development_and_Parenting.htm

Social And Emotional Theories Of Development -

Psychosocial Theory – Erickson

Erickson believed that children must resolve specific emotional and
social conflicts at various stages of their development. The level of
success or failure that a child experiences at resolving these
conflicts will in turn affect the child's future level of social
adjustment. A brief listing of some of the early conflicts that
children face is listed below.

Basic Trust –vs- Mistrust – (8 to 18 mos)

Once the child becomes aware of himself in the environment he also
necessarily becomes aware of his own inherent vulnerability. As the
child gradually becomes familiar with the world he must develop a
basic sense of trust that his world is a safe place to be if he is
going to learn to explore and to adapt. To a great extent this sense
of trust can be fostered if the parents and the child's care takers
adequately attend to the child's burgeoning emotional and safety
needs. Children who are cared for, reassured and supported in a
responsive manner are thought to develop a secure basis for developing
a healthy self-image. These children come to believe that the world is
a safe place to be. Consequently they may be more likely to assume
that the people around them will be willing to meet with their needs
in the future.

Conversely, children who are neglected or who otherwise grow up in an
unstable or threatening environment are subjected to intolerable
levels of stress. As a result these children lack the basis for
developing a secure sense of themselves in the world. They may be less
likely to trust that the world is a safe place to be. Eventually they
may come to see their world and the people that inhabit it as unable
to or as unwilling to meet with their needs. To them the world can
appear to be a less than hopeful, if not a hostile place to be.

Napatunayan po namin sa daughter namin na kung susundin lang ang payo ng mga experts, magiging maayos ang development ng anak natin.  Kitang-kita po namin ang difference compared sa mga batang alam namin na lumaki sa panonood ng TV, paglalaro ng computer at console games.

Sinisiguro po namin, hanggang ngayon, na mas hahanap-hanapin ng anak namin ang bonding o human interaction kesa sa electronic media.

"The American Academy of Pediatrics advises that children under age two watch no television. Studies show that too much television viewing can have negative affects: children may have attention difficulties, they may have delays in language and develop smaller vocabularies, they may have more violent and aggressive play and behavior, and they are more likely to be obese."

What are babies and toddlers viewing?

Since the first Baby Einstein movie was introduced in 1997, there’s been an explosion in screen media targeted at babies and children under 2. Baby Einstein led to television shows like Teletubbies and Classical Baby, Brainy Baby and Baby Mozart videos and DVDs and Babies First TV, a cable channel devoted exclusively to babies. There are even iPhone apps for babies. Almost all of them make implicit or explicit claims about the educational value of their products.
And do they help children learn?

There’s a lot of hype about baby videos and the other products but to date there’s been no real evidence that they are successful as efficient learning tools for toddlers and infants. In a recent study of a Baby Wordsworth video, we found that the babies learned new words far more efficiently interacting with their mothers.

Sabi na nga ba bad for kids si Spongebob

SpongeBob in hot water from study of 4-year-olds

The cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants is in hot water from a study suggesting that watching just nine minutes of that program can cause short-term attention and learning problems in 4-year-olds.

She said parents should realize that young children are compromised in their ability to learn and use self-control immediately after watching such shows. "I wouldn't advise watching such shows on the way to school or any time they're expected to pay attention and learn," she said.

In another test, measuring self-control and impulsiveness, kids were rated on how long they could wait before eating snacks presented when the researcher left the room. "SpongeBob" kids waited about 2 1/2 minutes on average, versus at least four minutes for the other two groups.

Newborn - 4 months..................introduce them to music preferably classical ones and nursery rhymes. (wag muna TV)
At 5 mos. above..........I highly recommend Little Einstein DVDs & Brainy Baby.....sabayan niyo ng books
Musical Mobile maganda din (with music ha)
1yo above...........anything educational will do.........disney jr., batibot, etc.

Sobrang grabe influence ng TV sa bata kaya proper guidance ang kelangan.

MommyJazz, my son did the same thing to me once. I just told him that little boys and girls should only kiss by "short" :) Since then he hasn't done it again.

Kids will really be exposed to things we try to shield them from so the best thing to do is to just explain it to them.

Parents share their opinions and experiences regarding letting kids watch television.
(http://www.smartparenting.com.ph/images/site-alpha/articles/being-a-parent/kids_and_tv/kids-tv-ci.jpg)

“Whatever kids watch, they pick up. Whatever they watch everyday, the will certainly learn, and have an impact on them, especially in the language and personality development.“

 “Dora” “encourages critical thinking and learning about Science.”

“The kids only get to watch TV when they’re at my in-laws’ place,”

“My kids are only allowed a maximum of 2 hours TV time. That already includes computer time,”

" I like the fact that Barney teaches basic preschool lessons, encourages kids to behave appropriately, and enjoins the kids to sing and have a positive disposition.”

“Being exposed to TV shows with violent content and foul language allows kids to see these as acceptable, and, most likely, part of the way of life,”

More opinions here:

My daughter doesnt like to watch a lot of TV. Nagkaron sya ng Backyardigans phase but it was too short. What she loves to watch in the morning is Brainy Baby Peekaboo and her 1st birthday video. Naka-checklist na yan sa kanya in the morning. Apart from that, play and books sya. I also prefer it that way, mahirap kase pag nasanay na sa TV ang bata, mahirap i-control. I'm also not in favor of introducing electronics at an early age. We sometimes use my ipod touch since she loves the english flashcards application, which is educational naman since she likes imitating the words.

Walang TV at iba pang electronic entertainment sa tinuluyan naming community house (sa East Kamias, QC) noong October to November 2009, matapos na binaha ng Bagyong Ondoy ang bahay namin sa Marikina.

Six (6) years old pa lang ang daughter namin noon.  Pero na-appreciate namin ang katahimikan ng paligid.

Hanggang ngayon, ang buong family namin ay hindi sobrang hooked sa TV, computer at iba pang electronic entertainment.

Yung daughter ko, nine (9) years old na ngayon at incoming Grade 4 na sa susunod na pasukan.  Ang madalas basahin ngayon at binabaon pa pag may lakad kami ay isang used Grade 4 reading book.  Naga-advanced lessons na siya on her own.

Kung nagko-computer siya, ang pinapanood ay educational videos na alam niyang hanapin sa YouTube.  Kung nanonood ng TV, gusto ay mga documentaries.  At heto pa, may cellphone siya ngayon na may TV and Radio, ang pinapakinggan sa Radio ay DZFE 98.7 FM - Classical music station.

Lahat ng ito naman ay na-observe niya sa aming mag-asawa since her toddler years.  Hindi kami ma-gadget.

I really can't wait until my son can read without my help. I'm going to lessen his TV time to encourage him to read more instead.

Experts weigh in on the issue of exposing young kids to television
Kids and TV need not necessarily be a bad mix, but as you may have probably gleaned from the first part of this article, sometimes, a little or no TV at all may actually do our kids more good.

1. Establish rules and limits.
2. Do your homework.
3. Expose your children to other forms of entertainment.
4. Watch with your child.
...By watching with them, you will be able to explain things to them, not to mention that it becomes a family bonding activity as well.
5. Use it as a learning opportunity.

You can not avoid a child to watch TV unless tanggalin niyo ang TV sa bahay niyo.  Dito ang mga bata nakakakuha ng idea kung anong "IN" so that they can relate with other kids else baka ma OUT OF PLACE sila.  May stages ang pagpapanood ng TV like for my daughter (4yo), she watches Disney Jr. or Nick Jr. Kung nanonood yun eldest ko ng spongebob, I don't allow my daughter to watch kasi baka maging makulit katulad ni spongebob.  She can easily absorb what she is watching.  She can remember some lines on what she is watching at magugulat na lang ako sa kung anong pinagsasabi niya (buti na lang at napapanood ko ang pinanonood niya).  She used to watch disney princesses kaya lang hindi ko nagustuhan kasi puro na lang prince charming at walang lesson unlike Barbie,  I too, love it.  Example yun Barbie Princess Charm School, tinuturo dito na one should have confidence....other barbie movie, maganda yun kanta, etc. 

Tamang gabay din ang kelangan and also expose them (outside the house).

Update.  My daughter is 4y and 10mos.  aside from TV, nag Ipad na din.  Nag download ako ng Storybooks and Educational Music Media for her.  Would you believe naka memorize siya (word by word) ng 8 stories (hanzel and gretel, princess and the frog, the golden goose, the goose with the golden egg, the big great turnip, etc.)

Stories with lessons like Hanzel & Gretel.  Sabi ko sa daughter ko na wag siyang bibitaw o lalayo sa akin lalo na pag nasa mall, kasi hindi siya humahawak tapos takbo ng takbo.  I always remind her na like the hanzel & gretel story e baka makuha siya ng bad guys.  Also, we have to explain some lines in the story like the evil stepmother.  Naisip ko baka maisip niya na evil mother yun so sabi ko stepmothers are pretend moms.  EXPLAINING is a big help.  Hindi natin maiwasan ang TV or any electronic devices.  Kahit sa school inintroduce na ito.  Some schools are using tablet like ateneo and la salle. 

Stages lang yan.  Like what I've state on my past comments, child should watch shows according to their age.  Also, my daughter is in nursery medyo slow ang pace for her age, kasi na late ako ng pagpasok sa kanya sa school and to help her may phonics music sa Ipad which teaches kids the sounds and words that start with the letter... really works alam na niya sounds the letter.

Also, napansin ko maski sa eldest ko na magaling sila in retaining lessons.  Confidence na lang talaga ang kulang for my daughter.  Maybe she needs more exposure.
