But let's take a look at what reading provides that television does not One extremely important element is that television doesn't encourage encour-age your child to actually talk. Somebody is definitely talking. It just isn't your child. There is the occasional word here and there, but when it comes to children and television, televi-sion, the talking is done on the side of the TV or video. Think about this: Other than the occasional occa-sional grunt or cheer, does your child talk much when he is watching television? Your answer is no doubt, "No" or "Not much!" Now think about when you read to your child and how much interaction goes on. Probably, "A great deal!" When you hear the word Veterans Corner Our tree of liberty Over two hundred years ago our ancestors planted a beautiful beauti-ful tree called Liberty. It grew from an idea of a few inspired men, but soon spread for many others to see. Most Americans were devoted to their king, and did not understand how to be free. Like any worthwhile plant it took time for this seed to grow in the hearts of humanity, Over taxation, with no representation rep-resentation watered the seed in the hearts of men, Thomas Payne fertilized the sprouting sprout-ing seeds with words from his noble pen. As liberty sprouted her elegance and beauty begin to capture the hearts of many, soon her principles and ideals were stirring and changing the hearts of plenty. A special group of men, from our fledgling, nation, erected her as a symbol one day, this "Declaration of Independence" spread her roots throughout through-out America's clay. War and bloodshed was the price that was paid to help her sapling branches grow, Protecting liberty lib-erty against those who would destroy her branches started long ago. Men of valor, though they were outnumbered, stood in defense of truth and right, Courage, faith, and the providence provi-dence of God, helped them to defeat Britain in her might. Men of vision, framed the constitution organizing how we tend to liberty's progress, They designed a Republic with checks and balances, praying for liberty's success. This government gov-ernment allowed each citizen to participate in its course by allowing a vote, amendments were adopted, allowing free speech and assembly for citizens citi-zens to denote. Soon the tree of liberty was firmly planted in the hearts of all Americans both young and old, it was, and is, the central pursuit in the preservation of the American way, above wealth or gold. The allegiance given to liberty pursuit comes from all races, genders, and stations, sta-tions, The Ideals of liberty have molded hearts and souls effecting effect-ing all our social relations. Today liberty stands, a beautiful beauti-ful tree, growing in the hearts of most American's. Constant vigilance is required to keep liberty alive in the hearts of each native child. Our devotion to the USA and our willingness to die in her defense is the price we pay. May each of us, water the tree of liberty until her roots, and her ideals, are planted firmly in our hearts, by our CouplesRelationships Weight loss & Fitness Plans Parenting Skills 'Smoking Cessation Anger Management "language," what comes to mind? Generally, "words," or "written words," or "speaking. We associate language with speaking. And the old adage, "use it or lose it" has never been truer. However, we need to adapt this saying just a little for our consideration of children chil-dren and television, because young children are still learning learn-ing and developing language abilities. But if our little ones aren't conversing and speaking, speak-ing, how can language develop? So, how can babies, toddlers, and preschoolers develop language lan-guage skills if they don't practice prac-tice them? Too much television prevents language development as well as language mastery. Worse, the latest children and television polls show that kids watch a staggering amount examples, may we take the time to spread liberty's values, until she grows billions of new starts! Then may we share her fruit with every nation, and every people, until they earnestly seek to grow her on their own, that her seeds may be planted everywhere in the world, until the ideals she represents, are the only ones known!

The other important difference differ-ence between television and reading is the loss of bonding and interaction with parents. It is all too easy to sit our little ones in front of the TV as a "babysitter." Now, yes, there are definitely definite-ly times when we just NEED that quick break from our kids. But isn't it easy for that hour to turn into an hour and a half, or two? You think to yourself, "One more show won't matter." mat-ter." And before you know it, the kids are watching 2 hours a day. That 2 hours a day is 14 hours a week is about 60 hours a month, and is 730 hours a year. Yes, 2 hours of television a day works out to 730 hours a year! Let's put this 730 hours into a context you might find easier eas-ier to understand. My family vacations on the Outer Banks in N.C. every year. For us, it is a 4.5 hour drive one way, or 9 hours round-trip. 730 hours of TV9 hours per trip 81 13 trips Think of all that time lost that we could have loved, bonded, bond-ed, read to, interacted, taught, developed and raised our kids. Television and videos certainly certain-ly have their place and most people absolutely use them in their household. When it comes to children and television, it would be positive to make sure we limit TV and keep it in its place. Story courtesy of Little Ones Reading Resource website. m : of mfj r 4 |
