Hello everyone,
Today I would like to write about TV.
I heard that most kids spend most of their free time watching TV which is about 3 hours a day, 21 hrs. a week. So, in 9 months it would be 810 hours of TV .
If they watch TV in the summer for 5 hrs. a day -- then it would be 140 hrs. a month during the summer.
That is WAY WAY WAY too much TV especially since there is a lot of bad stuff on TV.
So, they need to be outside more often, riding bikes, playing with friends, or going to the library or meeting new friends, or serving others.
You can also bake, jump rope, swing, write a letter to a loved one, work in the yard, do crafts, walk dogs if there are any dogs in your neighborhood, learn a new talent etc.
On school days you can see how long you can do a handstand, run outside and get all your energy out, call someone and visit with them for a little bit, play with an animal, volunteer somewhere, rake leaves, etc.

I agree totally!! It is so great that you have learned that at such a young age. "Be careful little eyes what you see"
Fun blog! And what a cute picture from when you were puny. :) Of course a current photo would be ultr-cute too! I'll be back to visit again.
You are a wise young lady! Congratulations on your wonderful blog!
I love your blog! You could be a model! You are such a cutie! Keep a going!
All right Ashley! How fun to have your own blog! I will let Tayler know too... and we will keep checking back!
Thank you for the good reminder to use our time wisely. My sons want to know how much t.v. you watch a week?
Wow, I'm very impressed with your blog!
My son is about your age and also has a blog: brandoncoles.blogspot.com
He loves reading blogs by other kids (and his favorite colors are orange and light blue, too! OK, mainly orange and his bro likes blue so that's what ALL their stuff is :D )
I agree! And I think us older folks often watch too much TV too! I can't imagine spending so much time watching TV when there are so many books I want to read, and so many people I wish I had more time to talk to!
Ashley,
I agree with you on the t.v. It is so easy to get sucked in. Thanks for helping my kids play other things and keeping them entertained.
