Well, we use it in moderation and to be honest, I think each child is different and just because it might work with one, doesn't mean it will work with the others.  For us, we watch one show before bedtime. The show that Broxton is requesting right now?  Odd Squad.  I had never heard of it, but once we started watching it nightly, I think it is a great choice.  An added bonus?  It is all about MATH and that is his strong subject!  He loves it and is really good at it.  I love hearing him answer the questions as he watches the show!!!!  They have a new DVD being released on March 15th!!!  Grab it now and l

I have no shame in admitting that one of my favorite shows Broxton watched when he was younger was Word World.  I think the creativity is amazing that they made the words into illustration.  The cartoon is cute and it is teaching reading and spelling at the same time.  Education plus fun is winning in my book!!!   We had a few Word World toys (and coloring books) when he was younger, but no DVD's. I am THRILLED that we are adding the Word World DVD's to our DVD library now for Savannah! Yes, she will be getting this for Easter!!!   Word World - Planes Trains and Trucks   “ Duck’s Family Reunion ” Because they have rhyming names (and are both cute and yellow), Duck mistak
