Hi, folks-

Did you know that kids under age two should not be exposed to television?  Well, it’s true.  Proudly, my hometown newspaper, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, has explained this in an article written on 12/30/08.  I’d like you to reconsider using TV for your very little children and, instead, spend time with them until they’ve passed age two and you can allow some television in their lives (we all need a respite, so I won’t fault you there).  But do keep in mind that as a country, the average person clocks in 4 hours or more of television EACH WEEK, which calculates to 9 SOLID YEARS of viewing over a lifetime.

Is it any wonder why our country is, ahem, “big boned?”  Let’s get active with our kids, encourage movement and healthy eating (why not let your little ones help you prepare healthy foods?) and don’t forget a good dose of reading.
