@johnzakour Yea Ille go along with that. ,one of my friends kids AT age 5 used to watch “Sesame Street” and he could count to 10 and talk better than most kids his age .
Raise hands, anyone who thinks Mara would voluntarily watch a lot of shows she could learn from. Her favorite cartoon is THE STUPID SHOW, about a talking Hot Dog and Hamburger who live together.
Always remember, though: children have a breathtaking capacity for taking in facts- but little ability yet to interpret and fully understand those facts. It’s like the difference between a musician who reads the music and mechanically plays it, and one who can instill it with feeling and insight.
Even without 24 hour cable and thousands of channels, it was no less a part of my childhood in the 1960’s. It was on from morning to bedtime. But I’ve grown away from it over the years, to the point where I almost never turn it on myself. And I do not like having it on just for the sake of being on, or as background noise. No like!

Actually there’s a lot of truth in this. Kids do learn a lot of TV. Some of it actually good.
