I think its great that someone is finally showing the positive side of t.v. and children. Sure its over used by many lazy or otherwise distracted parents, but when used the right way it can be very beneficial. As a mother of a bouncing 3yr old, i love shows like "Super Why" or "Clifford the Big Red Dog" those educational and informative shows that are entertaining and fun for her to watch are the times i get in any homework or housework that needs to be done. I am hoping to find more inforamtion on marketing and children, but for now i just wanted to give a kind of "pat on the back" to you for shedding a positive light on something that is always getting a bad rap.
