Don't Just Watch Screens, Talk About What You See

TV and videos don't have to shut off all family conversations. In fact, screen media should be used to start them.

Sit down and watch your child's favorite shows together. Most half-hour TV shows are about 22 minutes of program and eight minutes of commercials. Use the time during the commercials to ask your child to think about what you’re watching.

Does your child think the characters and settings are realistic, or not? Does the plot make sense? What other choices could the characters have made?
