What with my last post and now this!
The otherday I sold my Nintendo Wii, the couple came to pick it up and we were chatting, I assumed it was for them to use, no, perhaps a teenage child, no.
They were buying it for their 5 year old!!!!
Now is this just me, but I found this really sad! (not just from the point of view of how much are they bloody spoiling this child!) But at that age a child chould be developing imaginative play not just sat infront of a computer in my opinion, and they should be outside and playing with other kids, not being anti social. I know other people who put TVs in their babies room too and I hate this idea as well.
Persoanly I have the TV some of the day but not much kids TV and noah is too young to really pay it any attention and just plays with his toys still. Once he is old enough to want to 'watch' TV Iwill limit the amount he watches it, and Icertainly wouldnt let him have a games console untill he is at least 10.
Whats your view?
