I can´t reprise it now (especially not since it would be in German <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ), but it was something to the effect of: "Whenever they fire with their guns, they never seem to hit anything. That´s not real(istic)" or "The car explodes and everybody gets out". I even definitely remember how I wondered myself why some people were able to get out of an helicopter that just seemed to have violently exploded when crashing to the ground... Maybe that´s what parents should do - not only remember that it is not real (most kids know that what happens on TV isn´t really happening), but also not realisitc - in the real world, violence is harmful and leads to injure and death. A good way is to try to watch movies and series together with the kids - that´s not always possible, sure, but do it whenver it is possible. (Though if you really have the time, maybe try something else then watching TV...)The most dangerous thing to do is letting the TV and the school take of the education and development of the kid. It´s not what they are supposed to do (alone).But I think it is also dangerous to condemn TV - it is a part of our social life - maybe not when we watch, but whenever we talk about it with our friends, we make it that. If parents don´t allow their children to ever watch TV, they will easily become outcast, because they simply can´t relate to the other children (or vice versa). As always, balance is important. And saying it is easier than doing it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Mustrum Ridcully</blockquote>
