We all know that children are a gift and reward from the LORD. Therefore, it bears repeating that we have to do our best to nurture them and help them develop to their full potentials. Children are at the heart of all that happens especially in this modern age, with many inventions in the area of television, gaming, computing, centred on children as a core target audience. This is where we as parents need to take extra care on what we expose our children to since no matter how little or grown, our children are always watching and imitating what they see around them. Television is an inescapable part of modern culture and forms a great big part of children’s lifestyle today. Further, with the inventions of software like the Internet TV Software and high tech gadgets, coupled with the introduction of computer learning in the classroom from a early as Montessori or kindergarten level, children these days are certainly entering a new era of media entertainment and exposure. The Internet TV for one has broken free of old paradigms and constraints and opened up a whole new world of tv entertainment for our young ones. We can certainly not stop these young ones from watching TV Online, especially if we are doing so ourselves, as computer and television are undeniable mediums they will be exposed to. Further with all the hype about Direct Internet TV and the tons of Free Internet TV channels your children can avail themselves of, like: BabyFirstTV, Starz Kids, Starz Family and Kids, Nickelodeon HD, Disney Channel, Boomerang, Cartoon Network, Nicktoons, Discovery Kids, ABC Family, Teen Nick, Game and Craft Shows, Kids’ Cookery Shows, Kids’ Sports Shows, etc., it has become irresistable to not watch those Free TV Online channels at all.

As more and more children are interested in the Internet be it for amusement or e-learning, parents must be worried about any adverse consequences the computer will have on your children. And as holistic parents, we must take steps to ensure our children are protected from the possible vices out there.

Therefore the one important advice here would be to take heed and at the same time make full use of the wonderful educational channels available on the Live TV as stated above and filter out adult programs that contain screen violence, hate, crime and sexual contents from the young ones. In this respect, its worth mentioning that even children programs can contain, violence, hate, and even explicit contents, therefore great care must be taken to filter those out. For example, whilst Teletubbies may be mild, Incredible Hulk cartoon would certainly contain too much violence for our children. Further, children should not be allowed to have a free run on TV Live, school work and reading should be prioritised first, with a restricted number of hours of Online TV as a “carrot” or reward for accomplishing the task. Always remember that Internet TV is a supervised FAMILY ‘treat’ for the child and not a daily staple consumed without parental supervision.
