Bending children's minds with television.

[Tony]

It is all about distraction and being unaware.

From observation, it mainly affects boys.

as a parent of five children, i can absolutely see the same outcome. my oldest son, has had many problems with attentional attitude and risk taking, while my youngest daughters are the exact opposite. i'm left wondering if there is a way to try to reverse the effect. thanks Pie, this was very educational for me.

I personally think TV is going the way of the horse and buggy! Soon it will be outdated, esp with the internet. BUT what we view online is also subjected via movies or shows on what Hollywood makes. So in essence the near same effect as TV has, but the internet can be more picky..as where TV you only can watch what is on TV at the time. The internet can view what you want when you want.
I think for modern kids, esp boys video games are the bigger issue nowdays

Very hard or easy to understand why shows are made like this if this is common knowledge what the effects on a developing brain are.

Looks like a decent attention span is just about the last thing TPTB want us to have, and a good way for big pharma to create a new market for their drugs. Makes me curious who sponsors these shows.

On a larger scale its looks like a kind of tactic Yuri Bezmenov talks about, psycholgical warfare and subversion to corrupt a nations youth to prevent them from resisting change.

This is one of the reasons we got rid of our television. I noticed that I was using the television as a baby sitter a little more than I should. Our son is 3.5 now, and we have not had a television for almost 2 years. His teacher at play school notices that he concentrates much longer on puzzles, drawing etc than other children at play school. Whether he is just naturally like this, or if it is because we do not have a television I don't know. However, I still let him watch certain things on the computer that I have down loaded, but I have convinced myself that this is better, purely because I have more control over what he sees. A lot of families have televisions on as back ground noise too, so even if the children are playing with toys, they still are subject to a whole load of things that maybe they shouldn't be, commercials, news etc. But I am aware that we live in a society where parents sometimes do not have the time they need, and so I think a lot of children watch TV as a result of this. It's a hard situation, I'm pretty sure most parents you ask do not want their children to watch so much TV, but maybe they feel that there are no other options.

Obverse the vibrational change in your child. From a natural conscious state of air element-that flows every where with joyous curiosity (parentally exhausting although fun) to a t.v viewer that turns into a heavy denseness-an introverted slug mass (hard work to lift into play).

But remember, we were all children once (or more times). We all have our neurones in a tangle.

Start joining the neurones up! Don't assume your brain is sane.

Great video,

Here's another one regarding possible help in that respect.

I would be interested on his thoughts regarding modern internet "gaming" in this context as well.

[spiritguide]

Hence,"moderation in all things", creates a physical balance for sensory input and proper neuron development. Could moderation be the answer to proper emotional balance? Mothers and infants communicate by knowing what is next, this ability is innate (built in) and is quite natural and trusting. Could we be forfeiting this ability for the sake of modern perceptions of technology?
As we see into the nature of things we become aware that technology is insulating us from the inheritance of the natural. IMHO

As long as people use TV as a substitute for paying actual attention to their children, we will have this problem. Many people now have no TV, but violent video games are as bad, or worse, as is unsupervised access to the internet for children.

Being a good parent is the hardest job in the world, but even though a large portion of humanity seems to get self-validation only through active employment, yet being a parent is not considered in this context. The skill set required to raise aware and loving children, who have the permission to be themselves, is vast.

I am not a perfect parent, but I do the best I can in each moment, and one of my successes is no TV.
