What's Not OK for Kids to Watch on TV?

Rancho Palos Verdes Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Rancho Palos Verdes.

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart moms take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with this question:

Shows aimed at kids aren't always the most appropriate these days. Even cartoons have become more racy. So what do you do to make sure your kids aren't watching the wrong things?

Some parents might control settings on the TV that prevent their children from accessing certain channels. Others might decide to watch things with their kids to monitor content. But if kids want to watch their favorite shows, chances are, they'll find a way—regardless of rules.

How do you control what your kids watch? Is prohibiting them from watching certain shows the best practice? Tell us in the comments.
