Where DoThese Kids Learn This Stuff?

Television is the most popular form of teaching children these days. Instead of reading the books, the kids want to sit on the couch and watch their favorite cartoon character dance around the screen. Popular book series, such as Arthur and Franklin, have been turned into popular television shows. Children need more stimulation now than they did before. In order to catch a child's attention, one has to use bright colors and fun songs. Barney and Sesame Street are two of the most popular kids shows to teach sharing, friendship, and honesty to small children. I remember my sister watching the show and doing just as "Big Bird" told her too. These programs are highly valuable and we need to keep kids interested. New programs are also sprouting up, such as, Dora the Explorer, to teach kids Spanish. With the help of these shows, children are still learning the proper values one should have in every day life. I know I'm still singing... "I love you, you love me...."
