What to do before you view
- Once a week, sit down as a family and decide what programs each of you plans to watch in the next few days. Make sure you approve of the programs your child chooses. Write down the shows and times. Then stick to the schedule – no cheating or channel surfing!
- Build your child's sense of excitement. Encourage him to choose a favorite stuffed animal to share the program with. Provide a comfortable cushion or blanket. Then let your child know a few minutes before the program is set to start, so he can get settled. Such routines make TV time special.
- Set the stage for viewing. If you're planning on watching a special on lions, talk about lions before it airs. What does your child already know? What questions does she have? What predictions can she make about what she'll see? By discussing the subject ahead of time, you make it easier for your child to absorb new information.
