Share a Show With Your Kids

This is a blog post from Jean Kingston

I am a professional child care provider and a mother of two teen age girls. I work at home. I put in long hours, so I don't get out of the house much, and when I do, it's rarely for entertainment. After all the parent's pick up their kids and I finish cleaning up after my familie's dinner, I love to relax in front of the T.V.  Thank goodness I have a direct tv hd dvr. In the limited amount of time I have to enjoy watching my favorite shows and movies, I will never run out of things to watch. In fact, I simply don't have time to watch it all. 

Several of the kids I care for during the day talk about the show, " “Spongebob Squarepants." I decided to check it out one evening while I was folding clothes in my bedroom. After about five minutes, I became a fan of the show. Later that evening, I ended up watching several episodes of it with my husband. The next day I talked about the show with the kids I care for. We all shared our opinions about which episodes were the funniest and why. It was good fun. I don't allow kids to watch TV while in my care, but sharing a favorite show with them is really fun.
