Now TV TIME offers creative, "take charge" methods that enable parents to use television to help their children grow. Today's parents have a good reason to be concerned about both the quantity and quality of the TV programs their children are watching.

Television time becomes not play fun, but educational, with ingenious ideas that will entertain, inform, and stir a child's imagination and creativity--Intriguing, interactive games that foster alertness while programs are in progress.Fun-filled TV-inspired projects a child can do before and after viewing.Video ventures that inspire expanded learning adventures at the library or bookstore.Challenging TV games that improve vocabulary and spelling.Activities kids can do on their own or with other children.Before-and after-show fun that encourages independent thinking.Mind-expanding, TV-sparked discussions that bring the whole family together.AND MUCH MORE!

My kids love it This book is great! My kids love it. I find the activities for older teenagers (15 and up) a little impractical for my kids, but they actually enjoy helping the younger ones since the projects are creative and involve TV. So either way, my kids are actually doing things together and learning! Thank you! Finally my TV is harnessed.. TV brings our family together thanks to this book I'm a single mom with three kids. I work two jobs and take care of an invalid mother. As a result, my kids see a little too much TV for my comfort. With my busy schedule, I needed some way that I could let the kids watch TV without having to be there to monitor every moment, and a way that wouldn't require much of my time. This is it. I spend less than 5 minutes with it each day challenging my kids with a TV project, and I'm set to go do what I want. My hats off to the author for finding a way to use TV to actually bring us all together.. It works! A Customer I was skeptical when I ordered the book, but it really does work. I only have to spend two minutes a day with the book to find a new idea and that quickly my kids are automatically using it in a creative and educational way. When I see all the pictures they color and projects they make now while watching TV, I don't feel guilty letting them watch anymore. One less reason to feel guilty about being an overworked Mom.
