My friend's DH calls Noggin "Crack for kids".

Seriously - 24 hour a day cartoons with no commercials geared for the under 4 crowd? Ugh!

Now, don't get me wrong...I love me some tv - and so do my boys. In fact, when my oldest was about 2 (right when baby brother came home ) we let him watch the wiggles. It was his "big" tv treat of the day and he loved all the singing and dancing.

And I know people use the argument that there IS some educational content in children's programming, and I can even buy that. I mean, when I was 3, I learned to count to 10 in Spanish and French watching Sesame Street (yep, we had Canadian television in Michigan, so there was a french version as well)

But to hear someone say that their child learned to "clap" by watching tv kind of makes me sad.
