where is the kid getting a smartphone if i didn't buy it?
where is the kid going to see tv if it's not in the house?

if there is no television in the house,
the kids won't watch tv.

now you may say, what about other kids? they have TV's in their houses. your kid will see television there.
okay, fine. depending on how deep i want to go with my no tv rule,
i could set a policy that all my kid's playmates have to come to visit
at our house-- where there is no tv.

problem solved.
then they only see tv when we are waiting in line at the bank...
which i can deal with.


bottom line, if the tv isn't in the house, the kid won't watch it.
it's that simple. it won't be hard. i don't even watch tv anyway, for the most part. so this is not a stretch for me.
i went through years during law school without owning a television.



then there is the issue of the kid getting exposed to things at school.
and if it's that deep, there are still options for parents
to shield them from things they don't want their kids exposed to.
they can home school their kids.
or they can send them to a private school that will reinforce
the values they want to instill in their child.



if a kid is seeing something on tv
that the parent thinks the kid shouldn't see,
the question i have for the parent is... why was your child watching tv?
