We called Baby Mozart "Baby Prozac!" It rolled off the tongue better than "Baby Ambien." We would put it on before nap time, and then after awhile, putting it on became naptime!
I would have done things differently, but with three infants, it is different! We were, and are, outnumbered.
I tend to think that for every parent, something is the new rock and roll, the new marijuana, the new aspertame, the new MSG. There is always something in our culture that is scapegoated to bear to weight of our dissatisfaction with society. It differs for different groups; spanking, psychiatry, television, video games, tag, tests, name calling, whatever. The thing that holds these concepts together is the reducto ad absurdum quality of the thinking involved.
Moderation works for most things, not abuse or cocaine or murder, but a lot of other choices.
I agree that watching tv WITH our children is very different than them watching it alone. And there are a lot of interesting things to watch. Tonight we watched a show on ancient Chinese boats.
