I think TV is not good, especially for toddler. I prefer to play with her in the yard instead watching TV in my house. my first baby, Darin, like to hear music and dance while the music run, but when she watch TV, eventually she just sitdown, stay watching without any word and have no movement.

As our government introduced a new Tax on foriegn content on local TV, most of the local channels stopped telecasting regular entertainment programs! How ever, now two parties have come to a negotiation and we get normal TV schedules as usual. Actually, the concept introduced by Philiphines is very interesting. TV has influenced our daily interactions with other human beings to a greater extent. I guess this is a good initiative to build interpersonal relationships among familly members (and then with others in the society) which is very essential these days. People are pushed more and more towards being "individuals" rather than "social animals". We have to turn back this trend, before our society turns into a Bararic culture once again, where individuals satisfy their personal needs, at any cost.
