We must have had our minds on something else last week. This weekend, while flipping through the channels, we came across the final episode of Rap City. We were dismayed, to say the least. Rap city was millions of kids opportunity to connect with Hip-Hop daily for the first time in their lives. Rap city introduced us to so countless rap personalaties so many afternoons after school. Hats of to Joe Clair, Big Lez, Tigger and the original man Mr. Chris Thomas who graced the last episode along with 50 Cent, LL Cool J, Busta Rymes and more.

The Terrors of Television

A recent study shows that regardless of the fact that your child may not be watching TV, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the TV isn’t affecting their train of thought. 

Even if young children aren’t watching the TV, it may be distracting them from their play and depriving them of developing critical attention skills, a new study says.

 When children aged 3 and younger played in a room with a television on that was tuned to adult programming, they played for about 5 percent less time than when there was no background TV. More importantly, when there was no background TV, the children’s play was more focused with longer play episodes, the study found. 

“Background TV is a disruptive and distracting influence. Our evidence is that TV keeps the children from sustaining their attention at a time when developmentally, they’re beginning to organize their attention skills and sequencing behaviors”.
