Well, I think that V-chip is a start for parents but additionally, I think that sitting and watching tv with them is an ideal combo. Personally, after talking to my cousin about the issue who is a mom of three girls, she believes that the best thing to do is sit down and watch the shows that other kids their ages are watching with them. If something inappropriate comes up then she will explain to them how that issue is unacceptable or explain what things mean, etc...she says if her girls don't see it on TV they are going to hear about it from someone at school and she feels better to have been the one to explain to them instead of another 5, 7 or 8 year explaining to them. I dont know about you but I was always that kid in elementary school who was clueless about everything and getting the wrong idea about things -- overall just naive and wish my parents had talked to me about the current issues going on.
This issue is such an important issue and something that all parents should look at seriously...my only argument is that I dont think it is necessary for the government to come and cancel shows... I would just be heartbroken if some of my shows are canceled or modified, you know?
