Gasp! Children in France Forced Act Like Children as a Result of a Court Ruling

Banning TV!!

France Bans TV for Young Children Gasp! A Ban on Freedom or a New Lease on Life?

By: Aurore Adamkiewicz, N.D.

France has banned TV for young children and babies as they have scientifically

proven that TV watching disrupts the brain, slows language and learning. This is

no surprise to us Waldorfers as this is something that has been known and

promoted by Steiner organizations for over 70 years. The ruling has won the

praise of the CCFC or Campaign for Commercial Free Childhood. This is an

organization of healthcare professionals and concerned parents who are seeking

to protect children from being constantly inundated with commercialism and

hypnotic sales tactics. I encourage you to join them if you haven't already;

information about it is enclosed below my article here. Dr. Susan Linn from the

CCFC says the TV ban " sends a strong message that the health and well-being of

children is more important than a businesses bottom line. "

 

 

Scientific Proof and More...

 

This proves that when it comes to languages, learning and coincidingly, the need

for love and human interaction that it cannot be replaced by a mechanical

talking box that gives off strong electromagnetic waves. As a mother of three

children that are quadlingual, I really encourage others to bring the language

and love for the child alive through themselves and not someone else, and

certainly not through a computer or TV. What is the problem with banning TV from

children? Looks like the real problem going to be for the parents who are

addicted to having their children lethargically sedated by the " drug box " called

TV. Some of the benefits or changes could be: children forced to play now and

hence, act like children, children learning to create and imagine games, art,

and toys on their own, children moving more and becoming more active (to the

dismay of parents)...the list could go on and on. So, the biggest change is

going to need to come from parents and how does one change that? Clearly the

first and most important lesson must be tolerance for childhood behavior.

 

 

The Companies Bottom Line is Money, but What is a Parents Bottom Line?

 

It has been my experience that the TV used as an educator/babysitter for an hour

is far if not completely inferior to a few minutes of human interaction with a

child. Let's not forget the important, powerful and grossly underestimated

accessories to learning such as eye-contact, touch, and love.

 

To quote Kahlil Gibran from The Prophet: " They [the children] come through you

but not from you...you may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them

like you...You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent

forth... "

 

Let us not forget, in the hurry to shoot our children out into the world...often

at times prematurely and irreverently- the time it takes to place the arrow on

the quiver...to sight it in, to direct it, and pull it back...

 

It is easy to put our kids in front of the TV and forget about them and even

think we are doing them a favor, but lets not forget the hard part of parenthood

which calls us to take the time, reach out, and connect with our kids and give

our children something that may have not been given to us. If we continue on in

the same path that our own parents had led us down-then we in fact cause the

future to go backwards and make it like the past, and therefore seek to make our

children like us.

 

 

Making a Difference in the Future of Tomorrow

 

Again quoting from The Prophet: " Their souls dwell in the house of

tomorrow....life goes not backwards nor tarries with yesterday. " So I encourage

all of you, who no doubt care about your children very much, to never forget the

power you have as a parent to impact your children’s lives and how much they

will appreciate that gift from you. Similarly, be more confident in your

parenting; trust yourself and your own educational abilities.

 

We have been led to believe that only schools and institutions can teach-

 

But never forget the school of the parent’s heart.

 

 

In Educational Freedom,

As a homeopathic practitioner for 25 yrs I can attest to the power of homeopathy

for ADD and ADHD kids and adults. The patterns are aggravated by the kinds of

schools we have and the terrible TV choices available to kids, not to mention

the dietary considerations.

 

That being said, homeopathy is one of the best, deepest approaches to the

problem. This always involves deep heredity issues; homeopathy is one of the few

modalities capable of addressing something so deep.
