We are allowing them to watch television. They are learning to become consumers. As consumers they start worrying about what others think about them and such, causing them to consume more. Our country is becoming a society where values of materialism are more important than any other sort of values. Exposing your children to this is not healthy. The sad thing is that children are being exposed at an earlier age than ever before.
There is an article called "Why the Whine" (you'll have to google it). It talks about how corporations are preying on our children earlier and earlier in their childhood and thus becoming "mini-adults". It is a good article for all parents.

in a culture essentially owned by corporatist psychopaths, anything that adds to the "bottom line" is their "true path". this path is so antithetical to the health and well being of reasonably sensitive humans, that those in need of relief from the anxiety produced by living a lie is increasing exponentially. in a sense what is occuring is a form of "darwinism" which is selecting for the most insensitive and heartless individuals possible. soon it may be too late to reverse the trend. then the planet will, unfortunately, end up being both owned and peopled by demons.

I'll tell you what we are doing...We are not letting kids be kids. We are protecting them from cradle to grave. I say let kids run and play and quit micro managing them. And don't give them everything they want.
