I agree that we parents should really play an active part on this. It is always easy to point fingers on the media, government, and everywhere else…

but if we really set a solid foundation of values on our children, I believe we would have less to worry. Of course, constant reminders will always help.

When we see something that is not child-friendly on TV, I give a comment and my kids agree. Sometimes we discussed about it.

Media now a days has become the main source of information especially television. So every child is vulnerable to bad material when it comes to viewing unnecessary pictures on tv. So Parental advised is really needed.

I second the motion, kuya Angel! Nothing beats the odds better than by being a proactive parent, every step of the way. We do our share and speak out. And at the end of the day if concerned people don’t shape up then you are at peace that you did your share in raising up your kids esp. during the formative years, even explain things with them in bits and pieces when confronted head on with issues.

It can really be ultra frustrating how media has gotten so lax even having those sexually charged soap during kids waking hours.

i worked for many many years in the broadcast media, though on the investment side, but am still way familiar with the broadcasting business. when i was connected with them, it’s all about broadcast cash flow, advertising revenues, listenership and ratings. the higher the ratings the higher the advertising rates. what does that mean? sometimes, the quality of the show is disregarded in favor of the more controversial topics that generates a lot of listenership such that advertisers would have a broad reach for their causes and products. such is reality. it boils down to $$$. so the more parents has to come to the rescue of the kids. government and NGO’s has been ramping up moves to disengage some controversial newscasters, even putting some monitor boxes on what kids can listen or watch on TV, yet all these are just destined to fail. it’s the power of parenting that will do the job.

Roy - You hit it right, building a solid foundation is strong shield for our chidlren.

Johnlazy - This is what has been missing lately, as I remember before that there is a big warning to parents before the start of the TV program.

Jennie - I like your add PROACTIVE (Prevention is better than cure)

Reynz - Very true. It is main obligation of the parents to be watchdogs but still I believe that all of us should be concern with the things children see. Thanks for sharing your ideas here, as always.

JoanJoyce - This is why I am now very choosy in what my children watch. Dati sa pelikula lang ipinapakita kasi kahit telepantasya palabas, di na rin pambata ang dating e.

a girl younger than 10 committed suicide last year. and it was all over the news. i really felt bad because although the news said “parental guidance needed” yet it’s very hard to explain to the kids. But I knew that I cant always put the blame on the media. we parents should be the first people responsible with this. I felt bad for some parents who use TV as a “yaya” for their children.
