"That which lives in man is seeking more life. Give a little child a pencil and paper, and he begins to draw crude figures; That which lives in him is trying to express Itself in art. Give him a set of blocks, and he will try to build something; That which lives in him is seeking expression in architecture. Seat him at a piano, and he will try to draw harmony from the keys; That which lives in him is trying to express Itself in music. That which lives in man is always seeking to live more..." Wallace Wattles

Instead of stifling the living principle in children with mind numbing TV, encourage it. Encourage them to develop their own unique, creative personalities, whether they enjoy technology ,books, sports and fitness, or music and art. Set them on their own individual path.
