Cartoons, there not what they use to be!

If your a little older, do you remember some of the cartoons we grew up watching? Looking back on it now, there was a a lot of violence in those cartoons. Do you remember how often some character on a cartoon you were watching would get killed, get some part of it's body cut off? Well, the cartoons now a day, put the cartoons we watched to shame. They might not be more violent, but they definitely have a lot more suggestive meanings. I gave a statistic on my other blog (everdayworkingman and woman) that the average American watches 34.5 hours of TV a week. Our question to you is, how many hours would that number increase for our kids? We as a group have talked about how our kids are off of school for the summer, and we'll get home from a hard days work. As soon as we get in the house our kids demand our attention (which they should) and as tired as we are, we find it easier to tell them to go and watch TV. Are you guilty of this? We as a group have made a conscience effort in this last little bit of time to sit down and watch some of these cartoons with our kids, the result's shocked us. The boy/girl implications in these cartoons are to strong for our kids, and yours to! Some would argue that they see this in every day life anyways, our response: Even if they see it everywhere else, your home needs to be their refuge! It needs to be the one safe place in their life that they can go to for purity, for freedom from the rest of the world. Your kids will see and hear things in life that they shouldn't have to, but don't make yourself part of the problem by letting them watch things that try to influence them in the wrong way. It's our job as parents to try and be the solution to everything life trows at them! THIS POST BROUGHT TO YOU BY KIMANZI, WILLIAM, CHAKA, DAVID
