Why We Tuned Out By Karen Springen
“What’s your favorite TV show?” our girls’
beloved ballet instructor asked each pintsize dancer in her class. Our oldest
daughter, Jazzy, didn’t know how to answer. She shrugged. Her moment of
awkwardness results from a decision my husband, Mark, and I made five years
ago. We don’t allow our kids to watch TV. Period.
NOT AT HOME, not at friends’ houses; and they don’t watch videos or movies, either. We want our
daughters, Jazzy, now nearly 6, and Gigi, 3, to be as active as possible,
physically and mentally. So when a babysitter asked whether Jazzy, then 1 year
old, could watch, we thought about it—and said no.
When we look at our inquisitive, energetic
daughters, we have no regrets. And our reading of the research makes us feel
even better. Nielsen Media Research reports that American children 2 through 11
watch three hours and 16 minutes of television every day. Kids who watch more than
10 hours of TV each week are more likely to be overweight, aggressive and slow
to learn in school, according to the American Medical Association. For these
reasons, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no TV for children
younger than 2 and a maximum of two hours a day of “screen time” (TV, computers
or videogames) for older kids. We are convinced that without TV, our daughters
spend more time than other kids doing cartwheels, listening to stories and
asking such interesting questions as “How old is God?” and “What makes my
rubber ducks float?” They also aren’t haunted by TV images of September
11—because they never saw them.
Going without TV in America has its
difficult moments. When I called my sister, Lucy, to make arrangements for
Thanksgiving, she warned that her husband was planning to spend the day
watching football. We’re going anyway. We’ll just steer the girls toward the
playroom. And some well-meaning friends tell us our girls may be missing out
on good educational programming. Maybe. But that’s not what most kids are
watching. Nielsen Media Research reports that among children 2 through 11, the
top-five TV shows in the new fall season were “The Wonderful World of Disney,”
“Survivor: Thailand,” “ YuGiOh!”, “Pokemon” and “Jackie Chan Adventures.”
Will our happy, busy girls suffer because
they’re not participating in such a big part of the popular culture? Will they
feel left out in school when they don’t know who won on “Survivor”? “Kids are
going to make fun of them,” warns my mother-in-law. And a favorite child
psychiatrist, Elizabeth Berger, author of “Raising Children With Character,”
cautions that maintaining a puritanical approach may make our kids into social
outcasts. “Part of preparing your children for life is preparing them to be one
of the girls,” she says. “It’s awful to be different from the other kids in
fourth grade.”
Our relatives all watch TV. So did we. I
was born in 1961, the year Newton Minow, then the chairman of the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission, called television a “vast wasteland.” But I loved
it. My sister, Katy, and I shared a first crush on the TV cartoon hero Speed
Racer. Watching “Bewitched” and “The Brady Bunch” and, later, soap operas gave
us an easy way to bond with our friends. Am I being selfish in not wanting the
same for our children?
So far, our daughters don’t seem to feel
like misfits. We have no problem with the girls enjoying products based on TV
characters. The girls wear Elmo pajamas and battle over who can sit on a big
Clifford stuffed animal. From books, they also know about Big Bird, the Little
Mermaid and Aladdin. And they haven’t mentioned missing out on “YuGiOh!”
cartoon duels. Dr. Miriam Baron, who chairs the American Academy of Pediatrics
committee on public education, says I’m helping our kids be creative,
independent learners and calls our decision “awesome.” And Mayo Clinic
pediatrician Daniel Broughton, another group member, says that “there’s no
valid reason” the girls need to view television.
As the girls grow older, we can’t
completely shield them from TV anyway. We’ll probably watch Olympic rhythmic
gymnastics; the girls love it. And if Jazzy’s favorite baseball team, the Cubs, ever make the World Series,
we’ll tune in. Last Monday Jazzy’s music teacher showed “The Magic School Bus:
Inside the Haunted House.” Though “ Magic School Bus” is a well-regarded
Scholastic product, I still cringed, wondering why the kids weren’t learning
about vibrations and sounds by singing and banging on drums. But I kept silent; I’d never require my kids to abstain in school. Like Jean Lotus, the
Oak Park, Ill., mom who founded the anti-TV group the White Dot and who also
reluctantly allows her kids to view TV in school, I’m wary of being seen “as
the crusading weirdo.” But some public ridicule will be worth it if I help get
even a few people to think twice before automatically turning on the tube. Now
it’s time for me to curl up with the girls and a well-worn copy of “Curious
George.”
