Kids aren't growing up with a sense of television as the aspirational place for their ideas.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think it's realistic to say kids shouldn't watch any TV. I just wish the shows would be better. And that kids would watch less. Get out there and do things, kids! Don't become couch potatoes!
I've no patience for people who say they never watch television. It's a great way to keep in touch with popular culture, and it's important that children can relate to what their schoolmates are watching.
Kids are much more intuitive these days. Not that I'm crazy about what's on TV, but they know so much these days.
Young people do not watch television; they are on the Internet.
Me personally, I wouldn't put my kids on television. But to each his own.
When I grew up, we didn't have a TV, and I think more families today have ambitions of getting out of their environment, such as sending their children to university.
Young people don't want to sit at home and watch television; they'd sooner be out doing their own thing.
We don't care really about children as a society and television reflects that indifference to children as human beings.
The imagination of our children is blunted on television, and their thinking is done for them.
It is commonly agreed that children spend more hours per year watching television than in the classroom, and far less in actual conversation with their parents.
