Sometimes it's the only thing that works to help her unwind a bit or allows me to cook dinner :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/educational-shows-amp-your-lo#post-1555498 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 07:41:56 +0000 ValentineMommy 1555498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I LOVED square one and still have some on VHS lol</p> <p>I'm totally fine with TV as long as it's not excessive </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/educational-shows-amp-your-lo#post-1538431 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 20:46:36 +0000 yoursilverlining 1538431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. TV is a tool in my parenting "tool belt"; it's not an evil thing and there are a LOT of great shows that teach in ways that make learning more accessible to children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/educational-shows-amp-your-lo#post-1538418 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 20:41:01 +0000 lemondrop 1538418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I try to make the screen time he sees (and we go well above the recommended allotment) relatively educational. I find myself getting increasingly annoyed with Disney channel and gravitating more towards PBS shows. As long as he's getting lots of exercise too, I don't really set a restricted amount of screen time since we have a lot of activities too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/educational-shows-amp-your-lo#post-1538404 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 20:36:57 +0000 T-Mom 1538404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I remember Square One! That was an awesome show.<br /> @HellOnHeels: I played math related computer games too! It was so much fun.<br /> I don't really have a problem with educational shows at all. As long as they're not watching TV for hours on end.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/educational-shows-amp-your-lo#post-1538372 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 20:26:31 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1538372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as they were getting adequate exercise/family &amp; friend time as well then, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/educational-shows-amp-your-lo#post-1538359 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 20:22:49 +0000 HellOnHeels 1538359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's try and revive this... I'm still curious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/educational-shows-amp-your-lo#post-1528297 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 01:02:54 +0000 sunny 1528297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a total nerd and watched Square One tv (a math show) and played educational videogames! Lol! My parents didn't really have a problem with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/educational-shows-amp-your-lo#post-1527529 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:25:01 +0000 HellOnHeels 1527529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO is or may become interested in educational tv shows or games, would you be more apt to let them have more screen time?</p> <p>Growing up (and really, to this day) I enjoyed and sought out TV shows and movies that were more educational then a cartoon or sitcom; historical and science documentaries, a lot of Discovery Channel etc. Also played educational computer games, mostly math ones to try and improve my shitty math skills. </p> <p>I think if my kids will be the same way, I certainly won't discourage screen time if it's educational, to an extent of course. </p>
