My 6 years old daugther asking me why we don't have those TV channels where you can se cartoons all day?
She told me also that she thinks one of his friends is poor because he doesn't have a TV at home?
She starts thinking that we don't have all those new technologies toys (nintendo, wii, ipod....) that most of kids have because we are poor.
I'm trying to explain to her that we don't need those fancy toys, neither the cable channels; that they are not good for us. But she tells me right away "but, I like it", "I want them".
I told her that because that's not good for her brain, for growing, for learning....
I explained to her that his friend can buy 100 TVs but his family just don't want it. And she ask me surprised "why?"
But in my big family, we are eight siblings whit 1 to 3 kids each. And most of them are very consuming, and my daughter starts noticing. Before she didn't realize, she had so much fun with simple things. But now that she is growing I feel like I'm taking the position of the bad-barrier.
Some ideas? help please.:0
