Bob Pittman, founder and former president of MTV, made a startling admission in the Philadelphia Inquirer, "The strongest appeal you can make is emotionally. If you can get the kids' emotions going, make them forget their logic, you've got them. At MTV, we don't shoot for the 14-year olds, we own them."
We at All Pro Dad beg to differ. God, not MTV, owns our kids and as parents we are stewards of their young lives. And part of this stewardship means guarding what they watch. If you haven't seen what MTV, VH1, BET and other stations are showing lately, please be aware of it - especially if your children enjoy watching them. And even if the shows they enjoy watching are fairly innocent, there is always a better way for them to spend their time.
There's more to life than TV. Why not turn off the tube and spend more time interacting with your family?
