TV is fine when: 
It
encourages thinking
It
engages children to participate
It
entertains
It
reinforces your values
It
inspires children to want to learn more
It
helps your children to appreciate other cultures
It
teaches
It
inspires children to want to read more
TV is a problem
when:
It
exposes children to violence
It
deals with inappropriate subjects
It
dominates too much time
It
encourages children to buy things they don’t need
It
presents gender, racial, or cultural stereotypes
