That our children see on TV
We will deepen more on TV, violence and family, institutional and social responsibility.
• We must keep in mind that education begins at home and we are the parents responsible for the values we instill in our children and the means we use. We must not abdicate our basic responsibility and delegate it to the institutions. In fact, conscious parents, present (non-virtual) and "breeders" of their children can overcome and compensate for programs like "pressing Catch" or the Second World War in chapters. How many of these parents? I have my doubts.
-that the parents exercise as such does not exempt the competent authorities from exercising their role. They also have a commitment to protect children.
Are fighting programs suitable for our children?
Our blog is for babies and children up to 6 years. Depending on the age of our children in this interval, we can not all hold philosophical conversations about that "It's a lie fight and deep down those men love each other and they'll take a few zumitos after." Our children absorb these images of struggle, shock, aggression and pain. These programs are for over 13 years. And if we get very purists, really children of these ages should hardly watch TV.
Life is hard and the news is more. I totally agree. But somewhere you have to start to improve it.
The sad reality is that our children are subjected to high levels of violence by too many fronts:
-Visible/physical violence in its upbringing: the numbers of child abuse in Spain speak for themselves and without reaching those extremes, still many parents believe that correcting is hitting, screaming or humiliating.
-Invisible/emotional violence of parenting: many expert authors claim that the current unattached breeding (taking little in arms, letting babies cry, daycare too early, long absences from both parents, etc.) goes against the needs of Contact of babies-mammalian offspring and is leaving emotional sequels to consider
-Explicit violence on TV: programs like these to fight. But there are many more.
-subtle violence in other children's programs. Cartoons are not always synonymous with peaceful or respectful behaviors. Some of them are really dangerous.
In conclusion, I don't want the TV to play my part but I don't need scientific studies to show me that the blows, the insults, the blood, the brute force and the violence is detrimental to my son.
