In “TV’s Negative Influence on Kids Reaffirmed” by Jeffrey M. McCall, he warns parents that too much television is bad for your kids. McCall says that recent studies confirm that kids who are saturated with television are damaged in many ways.

A separate study at the University of North Carolina found 12- to 14-year olds who watched television with high sexual content were twice as likely to have intercourse by age sixteen.

When dealing with arguments you need to find out what it is about first by going back to the beginning and asking the children what has happened. Don’t forget to ask each child for their sides. Ask…
One time in high school I drove to one of my close friends homes. I walk in through the front door only to find my friend’s father yelling at him because he did not pick her up from work the day before and was now being punished by not being allowed to drive the car for the rest of the week.
