Why Reading is Better Than TV (Sung to the "Oompa Loompa Song" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)



When my children are bored, I tell them to go look at the television - because taped to our screen is a list of fun, TV-free activities that they helped come up with.  Months ago, I had started letting them watch TV so I could get things done around the house. But I quickly realized they had it on for hours.  So, I told them kids we were going to watch less television.  Together, we made a list of things they could do instead and hung it on the TV.  They suggested: play tag, braid each other's hair, jump rope, do a puzzle.  I try to limit their television.  Now, when they're looking for something to do, they still go to the TV - but they don't turn it on.
