A parent argues that her four-year-old does not need to be read to because her child watches television every night for hours and is exposed to many words, characters, and story lines. Which of the following responses would be respectful yet accurate?
a. "Yes, there are some excellent programs on television; however, the research suggests that it is important to give preschoolers experiences in sharing and discussing books as well. Interestingly, I've read that even educational television programs are much more effective when they are watched by and discussed with an adult."
b. "The research suggests that television should not be used as a ‘babysitter' and that is what this sounds like to me."
c. "Are you talking about programming specifically for young children? I certainly hope so because most of what is on television is not appropriate for them."
d. "The American Academy of Pediatrics would disagree with your point of view; what you just described is excessive television viewing for a child at age four."
