Celeb moms on their kids and TV
A FEW celebrity moms shared
the things they do to ensure
that their children watch only
kiddie-friendly TV and came up
with common advice:
1) Pre-screen the shows your
children will watch, if possible.
2) Sit and watch with them,
if you care to find the time.
3) Be consistent and vigilant,
if you don’t want to lose your
authority to imaginary heroes.
Not even to Superman.

tertainment columnist, mom of

My husband Robert and I are
in charge of what Nic watches,
and her yaya follows our in-
structions. Nic is allowed to
watch only kiddie channels and
the movies we’ve selected for
her—animated series, shows
with lots of music.

a particular film or TV show,
see an episode of the show in
advance, if possible. Watch TV
with the kids and, as they grow
up, help them make informed
decisions on what’s good and
what’s not.

Singer/Actress, mom to Di-

Miong is allowed to watch
cartoons—“SpongeBob
SquarePants” and “Rugrats.”
I don’t particularly like local
programs that have skimpily
clad girls dancing. Small kids
who watch these programs
think that’s the right way to
dress up—mini skirts, tube tops,
etc. And sadly, the only dance
they know is the kind of dance
they see on TV.
As much as possible, parents
should watch TV with their chil-
dren. They should

Candy Pangilinan
Comedian, mom of Quentin,
5, who has Attention Deficit Hy-
peractivity Disorder
I am in control of what
shows my kid watches on TV, as
well as movies on DVD. Every-
one in the house helps enforce
the set rules. This includes the
length of time he spends in
front of the TV set and the type
of shows he can see. Also, he is
not allowed to watch TV while
eating.
Shows that teach values for-
mation are okay. These are usu-
ally seen on Playhouse Disney.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2010
Noontime shows with girls gy-
rating is a bit too much for me.
Kids imitate; they may look
good doing this while they’re
young, but not too cute any-
more as they get older. I think
this is also the reason that
teenagers wear clothes that are
too revealing. They grow up
thinking it’s okay. Any kind of
show with violence is not al-
lowed at home, either.
Parents should preview
shows before giving kids per-
mission to see them. The TV
should not be our children’s
nanny. Limit TV time to an hour
in the morning and an hour in
the afternoon. Kids should en-
gage in activities that will teach
them to interact with others.

Household helpers should
not watch noontime shows and
teleseryes when a child is
around. The key word here is
consistency.

watches. He’s allowed to watch

He can’t watch adult channels.
Gory, sexual, and violent
shows are offensive. Parents can
help regulate their kids’ TV-
viewing habits by explaining to
them why they can’t watch cer-
tain shows. Parents should be
firm and loving at the same
time.

Base sa e-mail ng ASAP sa In
Huddle nito lamang nakalipas

ito ng sulat sa Philippine
Olympic Committee ( POC) na
humihiling na patawan ng
kaukulang sanction si Joseph
dahil sa kanyang remark na
“fake passports can be easily ac-
quired in the Philippines.”
Ang nakakasirang puring sa-

Naimbitahan ang mga ba-

dahilang wala umanong sanc-

kanyang pinamumunuan.
Except for the older ones,
natuloy na lumahok ang mga

Ayon kay Ed Picson, execu-

natag sa London ang mga tu-
long pinansyal at teknikal
upang makalaro si Suarez sa

“It’s really a big boost.
They (G4S) will provide
whatever help Charly will

Picson Miyerkules ng
gabi sa he British

Kasama ni Suarez sa grupo
sina Beijing Olympians Juan

dahil hindi naman pala sakop
ito ng FINA rules.
Bukod sa POC, copy fur-
nished ng ASAP letter ang DFA,
Bureau of Immigration, Nation-
al Bureau of Investigation at
maging ang Philippine Swim-
ming Association.
Kitang-kita ang motibo ni
Joseph sa ginawang sulat sa
Malaysian swimming associa-
tion para huwag makalangoy
ang mga bata na ang mga ma-
gulang ay kandahirap pang
maghanap ng pamasahe patu-

Sa palagay ko kung nalusu-

“ouster” bilang PASA head, sa
pagkakataong ito kung mabibig-
yang pansin ng DFA ang sulat
sa kanila ng ASAP, ay may
