I was behind a mother this morning who had her kid wacthing one of these as she dropped him off to pre k... I was wondering if she had to cram him full of ritalin to slow him back down...:rolleyes:

Ealry daycare, preK, whatever... obviously if you can not find a stranger to take care of your children between the time they wake until they are dumped into another strangers hands and electronic version will suffice :confused:

...just have to wonder how they will turn out with all of these strangers raising them from 18months thru 18 years old...:eek:

I was wondering about this the other day. I know we probably let Emily watch too much TV ( :o ), but she still has plenty of time for active play and plenty of time for imaginary play, so I don't feel too terrible about it. She's not plopped down in front of the TV for 8 hours a day or anything. Parents do need to watch how much TV they let their kids take in. At the very least, it is promoting a sedentary lifestyle which is the last thing our obese nation needs. :rolleyes:
