I am getting very angry about the shows that kids watch these days. 10 year old kids should not be watching MTV. My child came home one day and turned on the TV. I was surprised because he knows he is suppose to do his homework first. So I just gave him a look until he realized what he is doing wrong. He kept going and went to MTV. Then I lost my cool and asked him, “What are you doing watching MTV!” He explained to me that his classmates were talking about a show on MTV, called Jersey Shore.
Also a show called, 16 and Pregnant. My son is only in 4th grade so I didn’t allow him to watch those shows. They are not appropriate for his age. Then that night he was watching a show called, Degrassi on Teen Nick which my 16 year old watches. I told him no he can’t watch it. That show was also a show that his classmates were talking about. I told him not too watch any TV for the remainder of the night. This wasn’t a punishment but for me to think. What shows are these kids watching. 4th graders should not be watching MTV or Degrassi. If you have ssen the shows you would know what I mean.
I had time to block those channels so he could not watch them. But he told me he wouldn’t watch anything else. i reminded him of Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. He rejected them. I was surprised. He loves Disney Channel. He told me none of his classmates watch those shows and that they think they are for babys. I was shocked. Disney Channel is the best kids channel on TV. Kids in 4th grade should be watching Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. Mostly Disney Channel. That is what is appropriate for their age. I just can’t belive kid’s parents let them watch MTV! MTV is for adults! If any kid should watch it, it should be high schoolers!
My son told me about kids in his school who curse and now I know where it comes from. And the teachers don’t even care if they hear a 4th grader curse! I am ready to pull my son out of this school and put him in a private school because if kids at that school are talking about this stuff then it’s going to inpact my child and I don’t want him ending up as a deliquent! I want to ask you hissing kittys, what shows do your kids watch and how old are they? I think Disney Channel has the best shows for kids. The shows set good examples for them and are entertaining to them. So tell me in a comment. What shows do your kids watch and how old are they?
