As parents to a young kid, we believe in tv and movie censorship for our daughter. We always try to assess which videos and tv shows she may be exposed to and try to only make her watch only those shows which are educational and worthwhile watching. This is quite easy now when she's still a toddler. However, as she grows older, we should definitely be more equipped in judging the tv shows and videos which she would be later be watching. Hence, this book which I found in a Book Sale has really come in handy.
