no smoking games for kids
Are the effects of cigarette smoking OVERHYPED by the media?
Seriously, do they even mention that smoking actually delays Alzheimer’s disease? No they dont mention that…
All they mention are lung cancer, lung cancer and lung cancer…
and they show people with yellow teeths, black nails and look as if they havent bath for years. Well, NONE of my smoker friends look like that, in fact they have better hygiene then most.
and there are many people in America eating junk food everyday and are obese and probably have VERY HIGH risk of heart diseases, stroke and many other things that comes with being fat. And since they are fat they dont exercise at all and their muscles atrophy…
And how bout video games? Havent some kid died while playing video games for many hours straight? Many kids are also becoming myopic, and violent due to video games…
havent you heard news of people going around crazily killing others to emulate counter-strike or doom?
suddenly cigarette smoking aint so bad after all…
I will say yes. Non-smoker btw.

Limit the number of TV-watching hours for kids
TV Time
-
Limit the number of TV-watching hours:
- Stock the room in which you have your TV with plenty of other non-screen entertainment (books, kids’ magazines, toys, puzzles, board games, etc.) to encourage kids to do something other than watch the tube.
- Keep TVs out of kids’ bedrooms.
- Turn off the TV during meals.
- Don’t allow your child to watch TV while doing homework.
- Treat TV as a privilege that kids need to earn — not a right that they’re entitled to. Tell them that TV viewing is allowed only after chores and homework are completed.
- Try a weekday ban. Schoolwork, sports activities, and job responsibilities make it tough to find extra family time during the week. Record weekday shows or save TV time for weekends, and you’ll have more family togetherness time to spend on meals, games, physical activity, and reading during the week.
- Set a good example. Limit your own TV viewing.
- Check the TV listings and program reviews. Look for programs your family can watch together (i.e., developmentally appropriate and nonviolent programs that reinforce your family’s values). Choose shows, says the AAP, that foster interest and learning in hobbies and education (reading, science, etc.).
- Preview programs. Make sure you think they’re appropriate before your kids watch them.
- Use the ratings. Age-group rating tools have been developed for some TV programs and usually appear in newspaper TV listings and onscreen during the first 15 seconds of some TV programs.
- Use screening tools. Many new standard TV sets have internal V-chips (V stands for violence) that let you block TV programs and movies you don’t want your kids to see.
- Come up with a family TV schedule. Come up with something the entire family agrees on. Then post the schedule in a visible household area (i.e., on the refrigerator) so that everyone knows which programs are OK to watch and when. And make sure to turn off the TV when the “scheduled” program is over instead of channel surfing for something else to watch.
- Watch TV with your child. If you can’t sit through the whole program, at least watch the first few minutes to assess the tone and appropriateness, then check in throughout the show.
- Talk to kids about what they see on TV and share your own beliefs and values. If something you don’t approve of appears on the screen, turn off the TV and use the opportunity to ask your child thought-provoking questions such as, “Do you think it was OK when those men got in that fight? What else could they have done? What would you have done?” Or, “What do you think about how those teenagers were acting at that party? Do you think what they were doing was wrong?” If certain people or characters are mistreated or discriminated against, talk about why it’s important to treat everyone fairly despite their differences. You can use TV to explain confusing situations and express your feelings about difficult topics (sex, love, drugs, alcohol, smoking, work, behavior, family life). Teach your kids to question and learn from what they see on TV.
- Find out about other TV policies. Talk to other parents, your doctor, and your child’s teachers about their TV-watching policies and kid-friendly programs they’d recommend.
- Offer fun alternatives to television. If your kids want to watch TV but you want them to turn it off, suggest alternatives like playing a board game, starting a game of hide and seek, playing outside, reading, etc. The possibilities for fun without the tube are endless — so turn off the TV and enjoy quality time with your kids.
Video and Interactive Computer Games
- Look at the ratings. Video games do have ratings to indicate when they have violence, strong language, mature sexual themes, and other content that may be inappropriate for kids. The ratings, established for the Entertainment Software Rating Board, range from EC (meaning Early Childhood), which indicates that the game is appropriate for kids ages 3 and older, to AO (for Adults Only), which indicates that violent or graphic sexual content makes it appropriate only for adults.
- Preview the games. Even with the ratings, it’s still important to preview the games — or even play them — before letting kids play. The game’s rating may not match what you feel is appropriate for your child.
- Help kids get perspective on the games. Monitor how the games are affecting your kids. If they seem more aggressive after spending time playing a certain game, discuss the game and help them understand how the violence that’s portrayed is different from what occurs in the real world. That can help them identify less with the aggressive characters and reduce the negative effects that violent video games can have.
Internet Safety
- Become computer literate. Learn how to block objectionable material.
- Keep the computer in a common area. Keep it where you can watch and monitor your kids. Avoid putting a computer in a child’s bedroom.
- Share an email account with younger children. That way, you can monitor who is sending them messages.
- Bookmark your child’s favorite sites. Your child will have easy access and be less likely to make a typo that could lead to inappropriate content.
- Spend time online together. Teach your kids appropriate online behavior.
- Monitor kids use of chat rooms. Be aware that posting messages to chat rooms reveals a child’s email address to others.

Hi Friends, I am Izhar, love all of you, and I’d like to write about my interest, and here i am sharing about my opinion, prevention regarding to many diseases, maintaining views for Health, Beauty & Younger looking Secrets at article base…
Where can a shy guy in NY go to meet women??
this is for my brother. he’s a 27yr man who has very little confidence and the girl he’s with is way too controlling. shes 26 and has been engaged 2 times already, and is pressuring my brother for marriage!! she references about her ex’s all the time and puts my brother down constantly. i call my brother a ” pleaser” he doesn’t want to hurt anyones feeling and only wants to make people happy. he’s a simple guy, goes to movies, video games. never been married, no kids, doesn’t smoke. just really on the shy side. really doesn’t know how to talk to people and look them in the eye. when he gets nervous he’ll have a little studder, again only when nervous. he’s really a great guy , very giving ( he donated his kidney to e last year). where can he go to meet woman that won’t step all over him and take advantage?? he lives in staten island ny 10314 if this is any help.
thanks!!
I’d suggest he travel to Philippines and have a nice long (at least a month) visit. The girls there are very nice and easy to talk with. They love white American men. I don’t know if he is Black. Anyway, his confidence will be boosted and he might even meet a very nice Filipina while he is there. If not, then once he is back in the States, he would have better self-confidence.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
