did. I read everywhere: in the car, at the dinner table, and even in the bathtub. My family thought I was some kind of genius since none of the other children showed any interest in anything other than playing with their friends and watching Dora the Explorer- which was normal at the age. I did all those things. But I’ve never thought of myself as smarter than the other kids at that time. I just thought I was just a little black girl who got…

Hand-held devices and software, such as LeapFrog tablets and smartphones, have been co-opted into young children’s playing and learning for a period of time. Many studies have been conducted about using them effectively in educational contexts so that their positive potential impact could be boosted. For example, in the studies conducted by Disney, Barnes, McDowall and Geng (2013), it was found that the use of an iPad could enhance young children’s engagement in their learning and playing.…

Eat Bulaga can be tagged as the nation’s official noontime show to date, with 35 years and still running under its belt. It is a lunchtime tradition to the Filipino’s who just can’t get enough of our Dabarkads ( Tito, Vic, Joey and the rest of the gang).

The show entertained many viewers here and abroad, until it was franchised also by our neighboring country, Indonesia. The…

For example, Dora the Explorer was a detective, but she focused more on exploring and finding clues to solve crimes than on the actual crime solving. The Scooby-Doo show catered to younger teens, and showed them that being young detectives and solving crime could be fun, especially…

Hispanic culture and language. As I did learn English I realized it was never going to be easy for me given my circumstances. As a baby, television shows were my life. My mother would plop me down in my crib right in front of the TV and turn on Dora The Explorer for me to mindlessly consume information as she waddled over to the kitchen with her pregnant belly to cook for my father before he got home. Regardless of all the English, I might have been learning from TV shows, all that was really…

When most moms have their first child, they want the best for them. What the definition of “best” means to these parents can differ. “Best” could be the happiest that they can be on their own accord, or it can mean that they lead a life with values going back generations. Tiger moms want their child to be better than all of their peers, they want to make sure that no matter what the child will not end up to be a failure. If the child is a failure, that could mean that the parent is also a…

educational purposes a lot, there are a thousand programs created just for children. I don’t agree with the statement “kids who watch a lot of TV in adolescence is more likely to behave aggressively in adulthood”. The shows like “Wild Crafts”, “Dora the Explorer”, ” My Little Pony Friendship” and “Sesame Street” do not provoked violence or criminal behavior. Programs like that are helpful for child development, they open the imagination and the children learn things like friendship and team…

To begin, the continuous advancement in the technological world, specifically the addictive nature of mobile games, has negatively impacted children mentally. A child can become addicted when playing digital games that have no specific goal or motive -- one may call them ‘mindless’ games. For example, Flappy Bird is an app where the user must simply press their finger on their touch-screen device over and over in order to make a bird fly without getting hit. Unlike Sudoku or Trivia Crack which…
