* Old Shows/ Games and Now *

     Hey everyone! Today's topic is about our Old an New Times...very random but I thought it would be a good topic haha.
     For about a week I have been talking to my son about all the games and shows his mommy and daddy grew up on like the games Mario Brothers, Sonic, Donkey Kong; and the shows like Cat in the Hat, Scooby Doo, Catdog, Pinky and the Brain stuff like that. So far he's been really getting into Sonic and Mario Games.. Although he's was born in the 2000's, hes really into the 90's cartoons an games I think its awesome to know that my kid is into our old shows. We have Netflix and hes always watching Barney, Blues Clues, Rugrats, Sesame Street etc, when its not on TV. Shows that wasn't on when I was younger now are Sid the Science Kid, Dinosaur Train, Danial Tigers Neighborhood an more. These shows he loves to watch everyday, an they're learning shows that's what I love about newer shows cause they  teach our kids more now then they did when I was younger. We used our imagination  nothing really educational but like sesame street  but their using educational shows to teach our kids something everyday. At four years old I wouldn't know the stuff my son does today.. I think it is wonderful to have these shows for our kids. Although doctors say its not good for children to watch TV all the time; me an my son every morning from 9 till 1 watch cartoons, its like school for him. He learns, interacts w/ it an tells me about it after watching it. Not only that once the shows are off we go on PBSKIDS.ORG to play the games. So for him to watch cartoons and play the games like he does and to be as smart as he is, I think their isn't nothing wrong w/ it as long as it's educational. 
     Anyways...Although I'm not a doctor but this is what I would say  for the people who have a hard time teaching their kids at a young age. Sit down w/ them watch the educational shows on Pbskids an talk to them about what they just watched and question them on some of the stuff they saw like Example: So how can  people catch germs? Answer: From not washing their hands. For them it feels like their just watching tv but really they are learning what they see an hear.
     So that's all for tonight I hope everyone has a wonderful night
                                             Thanks :)
