Family-Friendly Entertainment?

Here is another excerpt from a paper I wrote for my English class:

Entertainment media are becoming less and less "family-friendly" and, as parents, we have to be more careful about what our children watch than our parents had to be with us or their parents with them. Even the so-called children's channels and programs can sometimes cross the line to subjects and words that children simply should not be hearing. It is for this fact that my wife and I have decided that our child will not have a television or computer in their bedroom so that we can keep a close eye on what they are watching and doing.

One mistake some parents make is thinking that just because a television program or movie is animated that it is suitable for children. But, this is simply not always the case. Even the MPAA ratings for movies cannot be completely relied upon as a foolproof indicator of whether a movie will be suitable for children. Yes, it will take lots of prayer and trust in God for parents to actually spend the time making sure that what their children are watching is wholesome and appropriate for them. While it is certainly okay to allow ourselves and our children to be simply entertained, we do need to make sure that the content of that entertainment does not contradict the good morals and values we are instilling in them in other aspects of life so that they will continue to make good entertainment decisions even when we are not around to make sure they are watching the right things.
