The attraction of television is undeniable when it comes to kids.  Here are guidelines we created to help us decide what’s appropriate for our family:
Monitor television time. Choosing good shows isn’t a big issue if you’re not watching a lot of television, so really the best solution to finding appropriate television is saying, “Go play.” 
Don’t trust network ratings. A kid-approved stamp given by a television network is a general guide that doesn’t take into account your parenting style and the things your family feels are important.   There are plenty of adult cartoon shows on television now, many with highly inappropriate topics.
   The bottom line is, I want to know what my kids are watching, and if the TV is on my time in our home, I want to first approve of the show ahead of time, and second to watch it with my kids so that I’m aware of anything they might be seeing that needs intervention(干涉).
Talk about the show with your kids. As kids get older, we realize that we can’t shelter them from every single person/show/behavior that doesn’t fit exactly with our values. They’re going to hear a swear word from time to time—and might walk into the room while the characters in the romantic comedy we’re watching are kissing. 

A．If it doesn’t feel good, turn it off.

B．And be aware of cartoons!

C．We can talk about what we see, though, using story-lines to teach lessons when possible.

D．The standard for what our kids can watch might be difficult to set.

E. But how do you choose which shows are appropriate for the younger set?
F. Watch TV with them.
G. Still, a little bit of television doesn’t hurt and can be fun.

What is a big dream ? （1）      Or , is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
The Self
Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to.（2）   
Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.
（3）      
Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. （4）      In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. （5）  

A．Family and Friends

B．How Big Dreams Die

C．Does a big dream show one’s future ?

D．They simply fail until they succeed.

E.It is the last and the most terrible barrier.
F.Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong
G.And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

_____________
With so much information out there, you need to be able to sort the potentially valuable data from the trivial, to analyze its relevance and meaning, and to relate it back to other information.

Analyzing information is all very well, but at some stage you also need to make a decision. Over-analyzing can lead to hesitation, so you need to learn how to respond quickly and effectively, and to know what to do based on the information available.
