Healthy TV Watching I use TV to help my kid learn. Want to know how? Pay attention to what your kids watch on TV. Not all shows are appropriate for your little ones. Watch TV with your kids. Talk about the show with them and apply it to your daily lives. Cartoon: The disposable bottles. After you watch a show, point out related examples throughout your day. Woman: Good job. Read a book or do activities about the theme of the show. Make TV time into learning time. For more New York Parenting Minutes, go to wnet.org/education.
