Jaime S. reflection Fox- Ch.7 Flashing Screens or Turning Pages?

I chose to write about Chapter 7 because I used to be one of those parents that allowed their children to watch television as a means of getting my work done. Television has become a babysitter for many parents. Parents assume that it's okay for children to watch television for a long period as long as it's educational. Mem Fox is not saying that television is a bad thing, but rather as educators and parents, we need to make books more attractive than television. We have to provide an environment that supports readings. As educators, we need to support children positively instead of scolding them for mispronounced words. Parents also need to provide an environment that supports their readings. Parents should provide lots of books for their children and set up a quiet, reading area somewhere in their home.
