Super Why!

So, Nathanial is 9 months old and already has a TV addiction. Granted, he only enjoys the delights of this magical treat 30 minutes a day, still they seem to have a great hold on him.

His show is called Super Why and it is on PBS Kids. He LOVES it. He will stop whatever he is doing to watch these kids go through books and emphasize reading issues such as letters, spelling, etc. Once the show is off, he could care less about whatever comes on after it.

So, should I worry about this? I don't feel that it is a huge deal because it's not like I'm using TV as a babysitter. Still, I don't want to start the brain rot at too early an age.

Let me know your thoughts.

Sorry this is short. I don't feel well...

I actually see nothing at all wrong with him watching and loving this show. Granted, this is coming from someone who knows very little about babies and children. However, since this is the only thing he's watching right now, I don't think it's bad that he's addicted to it. And I think it's awesome that there is a show about books, reading, letters, spelling, etc. I kind of want to start watching it myself now. :-) I would consider a good sign that Nathaniel enjoys this type of TV at such an early age. :-)

Thanks Sarah. I appreciate this. I do feel okay about it, most of the time!
