Pro David Attenborough con disturbing
Okay so I'm actually here for the name dictionary (virtual pet site need good names). I'm fifteen and I am appalled by what Australian TV calls 'for older children'. Maybe some people will disagree with me. My twelve year old sister sits down to cheaply animated bear like creatures who throw up on each other to transform... (full serious) and other things that either are too young for her or completely disturbing In a section of viewing time meant for kids her age understand that the shows the put on need to be right for any age group but things like "grossoligy" and the thing I mentioned previously are not needed at any age. I sat down this week with my youngest sister one year old Tia to watch morning kids shows, I saw an advert for an animated farm show that was anything but tasteful (why do shows for little kids need to say 'Heck' may I ask) and a large amount of monsters running around saying "there's a party in my tummy... So yummy so yummy". Even she looked disturbed. Though every week my one year old sister and I sit down to David Attenborough's life of mammals and we love it than on Tuesday there's Big cat diaries which we both adore. I believe that animal documentaries are the way to go with a child of any age, they're educational, entertaining and are a great for conservation "you won't kill/wear something you love" right.

Cyberchase is a hit for math and mysteries
My kids have all been big fans of Cyberchase. My middle child can spend hours at the Web site playing the educational games and he goes to school using what he learned by watching the show.
