reflection.
Afte reading this article i thought it was very interesting. I agreed with many things that Christensen said, but i also believed that some of her points were not valid. I believe that parents should monitor what their children are watching, but many shows "go right over their head". A nickelodeon classic, Spongebob Squarepants is a great example. Almost every kid loves to watch that show, and they love to see the different adventures that Spongebob and Patrick go on. The children do not see the hidden inappropriate messages that some adults may see. Such as-- The Krusty Krab is in Bikini Bottom, and their are many other situations. Children do not see this, and they just like the show for the entertainment. Also, their are many hidden messages in Disney Movies, but you cannot just stop watching these classics. Every child should grow up watching The Lion King, or The little Mermaid.
The real question should not be to ban everything completely, but you should find ways that are appropriate for children, and if they do not make a big deal about something, than neither should their parents.
Good start, Steph. Say more about the article specifically as you talk through your reflection.
