There's a school of thought that claims television is BAD. Bad for everyone, they say, but ESPECIALLY horrible for your kids. They'll tell you it rots and corrupts their pure, unadulterated, perfect virgin minds.
These people are wrong.
Television, like many powerful tools (nuclear energy, Donald Trump) can be used for good OR evil. No, your child doesn't need daily exposure to aggressive advertisement for Cookie Crisp (an amazing feat in marketing, by the way - passing off a box of cookies as a viable breakfast choice), but that's why God (in conjunction with Al Gore) created DVD players and TiVo.
Programs like "Sesame Street", "Signing Time", and the "Baby Einstein" series are among the most educational, mentally-stimulating weapons a parent has in the War on Stupid. Take it from The Best Dad Ever - and don't let the luddites tell you otherwise.
