Swear Words on T.V. Associated With Aggression in Kids | Health | Discuss

We are not the best at many things but my husband and I decided to have me stay home and work an online business so that I could be available for the children during and after school.

We have created a society of children taking care of themselves and social media has become quit the influence.  I realize as mothers we often times don't have the choice or ability to beable to stay home with our children, it's not easy.

However, I do and I must say no matter how frustrating my days get with them I glad I can be there for them.  

My son is one of those children who gets very involved (to put it nicely) when playing a video game.  Because of his reactions I've actually made the decision to not allow him to play those games and have sensored many of the games he can play.  That may sound harsh but I truly see a difference in his attitude and social interaction with others.  Don't get me wrong he is a boy and loves to fight and wrestle with others and I'm ok with that (That's boys)  Language on the other hand or calling others stupid, idiot or I'm going to shot you when I have a gun in my hand – NOT ACCEPTABLE!

I no this sounds weird but I have noticed with my children- especially my son- eating a healthy balanced diet makes a big difference.  The less sugar for him the more balanced and social he actually has become.  It's been such a difference for him that I actually have had his teachers comment on his difference in behavior.  I also find it very important to have my children on children's vitamins (non sugar).

Your children are children not adults and many of the decisions we leave them with are for us to make not them.  As mothers we need to show them how much we care and stand behind our decisions of appropriate shows, video games and eating habits.  They may be frustrated now but we will have socially wonderful children that we know will make better choices.
